Comment 8 for bug 593436

I've seen this "bug" since 7.10, and release after release I've booted up for the first time hoping it had been fixed, just to realize it's still there. I can believe how long this annoying "lack of feature" has lived. Here hoping some developer understand how frustrating is trying to promote the "super OS" to my friends and family just to be ask why the clock is not on their native format (México). I know it can be modified quite painless editing some file, but is little "bugs" like this that make the OS feel unpolished for the common user.

Also, I've heard of a project called "One Hundred Paper Cuts", and although I haven't digg to deep on it, I believe it's spirit is to solve "low hanging fruits" like this. Maybe we should reorient this bug over there.
