I think it's a known issue.  The documentation for -[NSDate
descriptionWithCalendarFormat:timeZone:locale:] (which I can only
assume that -[NSDate description] calls) has this caveat:

"There are several problems with the implementation of this method
that cannot be fixed for compatibility reasons. To format a date
correctly, you should consider using a date formatter object instead
(see NSDateFormatter and Data Formatting Programming Guide for
Cocoa)."

So, don't log NSDate objects, send them through an NSDateFormatter instead.

The method -[NSDateFormatter dateFromString:] returns an NSDate, which is what NSLog sees, which results in the problem that Kyle refers to.

First you need to create an NSDate that NSDateFormatter can then format into a string, like so:

NSLog(@"%@ -> %@", dateString, [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate dateWithNaturalLanguageString:dateString]]);


Hope that helps,
