This is nonsense, may I suggest you read locale (1p)?  If you set
LC_ALL, this overrides the other two settings no matter what they are
set to (and you may prevent some scripts trying to set LC_COLLATE or
something like that from functioning correctly).  Unless you really need
such a big hammer, set LANG (this provides the default) and leave it at
that.
