Yeah, the person you replied to was explaining that a comma and period actually do not always have totally different meanings universally (as was claimed). He or she clearly wasn't defending it or anything like that.
Yep, this number confused the shit out of me. I analyse data all day, numbers to 8 decimal points and this just looked like four hundred and ninety five point four nine one.
If there was a comma I would see it as thousand.
I’m British by the way.
One million percent agree with this and was looking for this comment from someone before making it myself. Also, I see WAY too many UK/Euro type spelling and grammar examples coming from usernames (relatively new ones at that) posting and pushing calls for "action" if you know what I mean.
Don’t use that period bullshit when your audience is American, a comma is supposed to be there and anything else is incorrect.

American or not, a comma and a period have totally different meanings in numbers universally, lol.
In British English, 495,491 and 495.491 are the same number. Four hundred ninety five thousand four hundred ninety one.
It's weird.
Regardless, it’s not American.

Wait until you get into their outdated way of saying larger numbers.
"One million million"
"One billion billion"
No, in Britain, 495.491 is just 495 and a half.

Eurocucks
Next you'll say that they drive on the left side of the road, lol.
We don’t in the U.K but my Polish GF does this. Technically she is a eurocuck.
Britons aren't Europeans.
This just isn't correct. Britain uses the same number format as the US. You might be thinking of other Euro zone countries.
Unless your europe
