Date display bleeds off screen

It may seem kind of petty, but I just noticed that the date on my iPhone's desktop actually bleeds off the edges of the screen. Mr. Jobs would be rolling in his grave... Yes, I realize that I can make the font smaller, but I'm old and my eyesight ain't what it used to be. Also, seriously?

Here's a screenshot:
