> I always stick to US English language when using software

Of course, the computer's native language is English - anything else would be silly. This may be a generational meme: young people have French language environments - even most of the computing professionals... But I keep my habit of mixed locales with metric measurements, English-language UI, mixed ISO 8601 and French dates. God bless UTF-8 though !

Metric measurements, English-language UI, UTF-8 and ISO 8601 dates could make a nice international default standard locale.

Describes my custom setup exactly. It would be nice to have it as a default.

If it weren't for Honduras we could have en_HN.UTF-8.

I really, really hate how Amazon tries to force US customary units (inches, etc.) on me in automatic translation just because I set the language to English.
