Actually the example should be

(printf "PERM LINKS OWNER GROUP SIZE MONTH DAY " ; \
 printf "HH:MM/YEAR NAME\n" ; \
 TIME_STYLE=locale ls -l | sed 1d) | column -t

To avoid messing up if TIME_STYLE has been set otherwise in the
environment. In fact

{ printf "PERM LINKS OWNER GROUP SIZE MONTH DAY "; \
  printf "HH:MM/YEAR NAME\n"; \
  TIME_STYLE=locale ls -l | sed 1d;} | column -t

would do. Even removing the "; \" would work.
