Not at all, I know perfectly well where that comes from. I'd be upset if I didn't. I set all that in my shell config. It's a kind of a legacy contamination from remote shell machines. As I don't have root on all the shell machines I use, I have traditionally configured locales in shell init there. And at some point, I've copied those locale settings to my home desktop, possibly other machines too. I guess one of these days I'll run update-locale and clean up my shell config.
