Youch!  Sounds like a roundabout way of accomplishing something simple. 
  Why don't they just give us the option, rather than tying us down to 
where we live?

I'm leary about changing my locale.  As it is, my Firefox spell checker 
is somehow convinced that I live in Malawi.  Or sometimes Zimbabwe.  I 
keep having to change it back to USA.  (Brits can read American 
spelling, and Americans can read British spelling, so there's no need 
for my writing to look like it came from somewhere else.  Dates are 
another matter, though: living so close to the British Virgin Islands, 
I've personally witnessed confusion over date formats.)

Happy Tau Day, by the way.  (If you happen to live in the USA.)
