It also is not guaranteed to work:
4. If the LANG environment variable is not set or is set to the empty
string, the implementation-defined default locale shall be used.
From:

So, the correct way to force the POSIX locale is:
① unset LANGUAGE (on GNU/glibc/compatible systems)
② export LC_ALL=C (on GNU and POSIX systems)
