Eliminate Locale Warnings

If you look at my example for using qalc to calculate download time

It spews a lot of warnings on my computer like so:

$ qalc "145Gbyte / 1.5Mibit/second to day"
Warning: Failed to set locale category LC_NUMERIC to en_DK.
Warning: Failed to set locale category LC_TIME to en_DK.
Warning: Failed to set locale category LC_COLLATE to en_DK.
Warning: Failed to set locale category LC_MONETARY to en_DK.
Warning: Failed to set locale category LC_MESSAGES to en_DK.
Warning: Failed to set locale category LC_NUMERIC to en_DK.
Warning: Failed to set locale category LC_TIME to en_DK.
Warning: Failed to set locale category LC_COLLATE to en_DK.
Warning: Failed to set locale category LC_MONETARY to en_DK.
Warning: Failed to set locale category LC_MESSAGES to en_DK.
(145 * gigabyte) / (1.5 * (mebibit / second)) = approx. 8 d + 12 h + 51 min + 48.138021 s

To eliminate this set LC_ALL to C or en_US:

# temporarily
$ LANG="en_US" qalc "145Gbyte / 1.5Mibit/second to day"
(145 * gigabyte) / (1.5 * (mebibit / second)) = approx. 8 d + 12 h + 51 min + 48.138021 s

To set it permanently add it to `.bash_profile``

export LANG="en_US"
