[Avodah] Kos shel Bracha

[Dov Kay]

<<In birkat ha-chodesh, I say, for example, "Rosh chodesh Menachem Av y'hiye 
b'yom sheini *b'Shabbat*". I have not seen this anywhere, but it seems to me 
that designating  a day (even a future one)  as "yom X  b'Shabbat" is a 
kiyyum of  "zachor et yom haShabbat l'kad'sho". >>

Except that the correct nusach is Av, not Menachem Av.  However, see 
http://www.ou.org/publications/ja/5761fall/LEGALEAS.PDF, in which brilliant 
R. A Zivitofsky cites the Aroch HaShulchan that the imprecise "Menachem Av" 
is valid on legal documents. I do not have the AH in front of me, but from 
this citation it appears that this is only b'diavad.
