I would agree.  Most people in the US would describe that as "broken."

The code is currently based on the locale, and it detects based on how
your locale is configured.  We can change the default locale to be UK
English.  That might realise a solution to the problem.

Or we can change how it is formatted.  There's no reason it needs to be
"12:42 PM", it could be "12:42 pm" or "12:42p".  Or has Jouni mentioned
we can us sub or super script.
