I typically only notice this when the date is spelled out in another language. I find it pretty cool to see L10n in the wild as an English speaker since I don't exactly have much use of it when most software is already in English.
That does remind me that I do like to use en_GB sometimes instead of en_US to get international English spellings, though that leads to strange problems like some websites automatically redirecting me to .co.uk versions or displaying prices in pounds or that sort of thing.
