Here's a better question. Why are you using US English? Why aren't you
using another English locale?
Probably because of language differences?
One reason is that when you get an error message, you know it will be in
the language most other users and developers have configured - which
makes searching for solutions and adding bugs to bugzilla much easier.

To make it more clear: This is about modifying Anaconda to distinguish
LANGUAGE from LOCATION, instead of making some messed up assumption
about the latter from the former.
I agree.
And Aanaconda already asks about location - when you set the timezone.
So it should not be to hard to add a few lines on that screen,
explaining that this will also affect other settings, such as paper size
and date formatting, and set the LC_* accordingly.
