English language metadata
\*(C`DateTime::Format::Natural::Lang::EN\*(C' provides the english specific grammar and variables. This class is loaded if the user either specifies the english language or implicitly.
Below are some examples of human readable date/time input in english (be aware that the parser does not distinguish between lower/upper case; furthermore, many expressions allow for additional leading/trailing time and all times are also parsable with precision in seconds):
