1. Tried to change it in the GUI Settings, Language from the British to the
US, this didn't work.
2. changed it in /etc/default/locale

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8

or

3. sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

reboot and it worked.

You can also set LANGUAGE, LANG per user instead of globally.

I am not sure why everything defaulted to British stuff for this ubuntu
install.
