@whenis/locale-en

English locale for whenis.

Basic English vocabulary and rules for relative dates. The English locale exists primarily as a sanity check that the locale-as-data design holds across language families; it is intentionally narrow at v0.1 and will be fleshed out as use cases appear.

Covered today:

• today / tomorrow / yesterday
• next <weekday> / this <weekday> / last <weekday>
• Numeral + time unit (3 days, 2 weeks) → duration
• Months and weekdays as lexicon entries
