Touches on a pet peeve re India: Selecting India locale changes ALL numbers to the lakhs/crores style separators (first separator is at the thousands' mark, then subsequent ones are just two decimal digits, not three: "4,567", but then "12,34,567", not "1,234,567")
Now the thing is, this convention is typically used in India for money, and possibly for stuff like population counts (though a lot of companies have converted to the western-style millions/billions seperators even for money) - but not in general for scientific/engineering stuff. One never says 1,23,456 kCal. But theres no way to define this in the locale.
So I end up just being on en-GB instead (en-US has that messed up mm-dd-yy thing, so is a nono).
