You're both right, of course. The locale is set when installing the PiOS - I'd forgotten where in the whole process I chose it. The ECC bits in my wetware memory banks are failing, I guess.
To fix my am/AM problem, I used a couple Terminal commands to select the proper locale, and rebooted - never touched raspi-config: <sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales> then <sudo locale-gen> then rebooted Confirmed proper locale by running CLI "locale" again, and double-checking by running "env | grep LANG". Thanks again, all. Good help here!
