One thing you can do, if that is what you want, is to add the line

  export LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"

Doing so limits the adaption to US conventions to date and time related format.

The level of detail with respect to the UIs for user settings is a trade off between varying personal preferences. Please keep in mind that a high level of detail, to satisfy wishes of a small number of users, may have drawbacks.
