2018-05-03 00:29:25 sds 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 imbecilic 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 crazy US customary units (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_customary_units which are ___NOT___ "imperial" in any way!) and date/time formats that make no sense (although, apparently, used by many here). This is 2018. I could set date and time formats to ISO 8601 for the last 10 years at least. What happened that you decided to take that away all of a sudden?!

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.
