Why can't I change the date format?

I have edited the following in both english.php files:

define('DATE_FORMAT_LONG', '%l, %F %j%S, %Y'); // this is used for strftime()

and the output should be Friday, August 14th, 2009, but instead it is showing as 4 2009-08-14 22640, 2009

What gives?

Actually it's doing exactly what you told it to do.
See the documentation on the parameters here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php

Whoops! I guess I had date() function parameters on my mind. Thanks!
