I meant:

$ LC_TIME=en_US date +%x
09/05/2006

But as Neil already pointed out, en_GB has it the other way round, i.e.
it would print 05/09/06 (I would still prefer 05.09.2006). I just
noticed fr_CH is bad, too: 05. 09. 06 (why do they have these spaces in
there?), de_CH is quite ok: 2006-09-05. But you still get the day and
month names in the respective languages.
