I am confused.  I use "en_US.UTF-8" for my LC_CTYPE myself, have done so
for well over a year (maybe two by now) and have never noticed any
problems.

The GNU C library uses "fuzzy matching" for codeset comparison and I
don't know that locale -a purports to advertise any sort of canonical
list for purposes outside glibc's own implementation.

What problem are you experiencing?
