 Replying to [comment:7 cypherpunks]:
 > Pref is `javascript.use_us_english_locale` ;)

 Oops; fixed the typo, thanks.

 > Also we need something `international` as `UTC`, but not `us_english`
 for american idiots only, like `12/17/2012` instead of dd.mm.yyyy or even
 yyyy.mm.dd, `3:00:42 PM` instead of 15:00:42, and so on.
 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units System SI]
 has all we need.

 This American idiot agrees with you. I opened #22130.
