This challenge has ended! Congratulations Flonk!
I was sure I would get a good grade, but after turning in Flonk's my work, my professor did not believe it was mine and also could not understand why it was so complicated... I failed and my mom grounded me from Facebook and Minecraft for a month. I don't understand. :(
Thanks for all your submissions! Some great answers here. The official winner is Flonk with a score of 64. The top 5 are:
- Flonk, 64 (Haskell, with efficient maths!)
- DigitalTrauma, 40 (The cloud, the future is now)
- primo, 38 (Python, and my personal favorite - and very professional much!)
- Sylwester, 20 (Racket, although Janember is stretching it!)
- ilmale, 16 (A highly optimized algorithm in Lua)
Original challenge below.
Please help me, it's very urgent!!! :(
I need to convert shortened versions of month names to their longer representations (e.g "Dec" -> "December"), case-insensitive. Right now I'm using Java; the month's name is a String and I would rather not convert it to a Date object first. Any language will do, though.
Is there an easy way to do this?? Go easy please I am a newbie to programming!
This is a code trolling popularity contest (the best kind there is!). The answer with the most upvotes on Apr 8, 2014 wins.

24There should be a feature that would secretly copy such questions from Stackoverflow to codegolf.SE with a code-trolling tag, and then have the answers from codegolf.SE transferred back to the original post with the text in spoiler tags removed. – daniero – 2014-04-02T12:49:33.873
Code-trolling is in the process of being removed, as per the official stance. This question is very highly voted with many answers, many of which are extremely highly voted. It recieved just over 50% "delete" votes on the poll, but it is unique in that it recieved so many answers and votes, so I am locking it for historical significance.
