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.
I understand, I just made the point that it’s foreigners that use it. It’s actually really common in the E,U. For them to use decimal points instead of commas.
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.
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.

The fuck? How can you tell if you are using irrational vs rational numbers then?
And they say freedom units are fucked up...
Wait until you get into their outdated way of saying larger numbers.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.
