Weekday or month in lower case
calendar-name-caseon by defaultEnglish
A weekday or month written in lower case, as in "on monday"
Example
How to fix
Capitalise the first letter.
Why it matters
English always capitalises the names of the days and months (Monday, January). "On monday" reads as typed in a hurry or pasted from a chat, and splits a search from the capitalised form. It is a rule of English spelling, not a matter of style.
What it does not flag
Only in English documents. "may", "march" and "august", which are also ordinary words, and abbreviations (mon, jan) are not read. Code, and names inside a path, a tag or an address (monday.md, /june/, #friday, @sunday), and values in settings (day: monday, "monday", a cron field) are not read either.
