FYI, I would find this annoying.  CC expiry entry forms are typically
select boxes containing 01-12.  The text lines up with what's on my credit
card, so I don't have to translate "07" to "July" in my head when entering
it off of my card.  Any month picker for credit card expiry dates should
always have month numbers (of course, names *in addition* to numbers are
fine, though probably pointless).
