Public bug reported: Being British, I am using the en_GB locale, so I would expect cal to display months where Monday appears as the first day in the week. Instead, it displays Sunday as the first day of the week, thus:
February 2012 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 For me, the LANG variable is set to en_GB.UTF-8 It seems that cal might be hardcoded to a US locale where Sunday is always the first day of the week. Note that this only appears to have happened on Ubuntu Oneiric (11.10).
