No, you can't. And the problem is related to being "American".
Yes, you can set the "time" setting to UK, or Germany, or whatever to get you
24hr time. *BUT* you end up getting the date in your clock in the format of dd/mm/yyyy or
dd/mm/yy when we (silly) Americans want mm/dd/yy.
Actually, most of the people who call themselves American use the
dd/mm/yy format. I refer to every other country in the Americas apart
from the US.
US nationals are perfectly entitled to call themselves Americans of
course, just be aware that other nationalities also do so. That's why
the locale settings don't say American, they say US (or VE, BR, CA, etc.
as the case may be).
