- which is precisely what most ordinary desktop users want. In such a case it's
a useful shorthand. Personally, I have no intention of ever allowing US
"English" to pollute any of my boxes (no offence meant to anyone here), so
LC_ALL="en_GB.UTF-8" suits me (so far - until I trip over something!).
That was actually my point. I set LC_ALL in 02locale on my
workstations/laptops, and so far I haven't had any need to
change it. IMO, LC_ALL makes much more sense than LANG for
the "catch-all LC_* variable name" so that's what I use.
On a multi-user box, I would probably make a different choice.
