Discussion of [NSLocale currentLocale]
Settings you get from this locale do not change as a user’s Preferences are changed so that your operations are consistent. Typically you perform some operations on the returned object and then allow it to be disposed of. Moreover, since the returned object may be cached, you do not need to hold on to it indefinitely.
