Bug Description
Settings --> Region & Language --> Formats
Allows me to select the country, not set the actual format.us
I live in the US, so this means that I am stuck with
date: mm/dd/yyyy
time: HH:MM:SS AM/PM
date&time: the weird format which somehow starts with week and ends with am/pm
numbers: 123,456,789.00
measurements: imperial
paper: us letter
basically, since all paper is always "letter", no other country selection will work for me.
however, I don't see why I have to be stuck with the US customary units (https:/
I could set date and time formats to ISO 8601 for the last 10 years at least, and still can do it on Mac.
This appears to be a regression.

As a workaround, why don't you try Canada (English) ?
It uses the US Letter paper size, metric measurement, and the date format is at least closer to what you were wanting.
