      Adding decimal separation to electric plugs on my list of “stuff the UK is objectively better at”.

      Maybe it’s me who’s completely biased but i would say in France it’s de facto both. People don’t really use thousand’s separators and instead use spaces.

      We don’t use both in Luxembourg, what is this? Only the comma version is learnt in school

      I’ve seen it as:

      10.0054302847

      And

      10.005,430,284,7

      While growing up here in the U.S. it was only really my teachers I saw using them. Most of the time though, it’s without any commas since most people here would start thinking it’s not a decimal anymore. And I feel we don’t use periods as often for similar reasons. Stopped seeing commas around 2006 or 7, Personally.
      Im sure folks who use math more often use or see it more.

      European here. I’m willing to concede comma’s for dots if you guys beyond the pond are willing to concede imperial measures.

      As a Czech when we go to more statistic data we use both. In different ways.

      Then you go to Hispanic America and it’s total chaos because in many countries they just copy whatever Americans do.

      In Spain when you write it by hand we use (or used to use when I was in school) an apostrophe. E.g. 123’45

      Out of ignorance and curiosity. How do you tell the difference between for example 5,022 ( Five Thousand and Twenty Two ) vs 5.022 (Five point Zero Two Two) if they’re both just „5,022“

      Dots are for ending a sentence, commas are for separating two parts of it. Decimals are still the same number, just a different part of it. Green team for life.

      Does anyone else have trouble with the color scheme? I’m not sure there are three colors, but it would be so much easier to see if one of the shades of blue were something like orange.

      In reality it is both in most countries, because a lot of software uses dot regardless of where you live.

      My German banking app sets the app language based on the system language, but still requires German format numbers.

      But because the app language is UK English, the numpad that comes up to enter a number has a dot key but not a comma. So now I can only transfer whole numbers of euros. 🫠
