      For one thousand the US uses a comma. For unity to three significant digits, US uses a period (dot, decimal point).

      The ratio of a circle’s circumference to diameter is 3.14. The speed of light is 186,282 miles per second.

      9,999,999.99 makes the most sense. It’s just like the commas in a sentence, and the one important stop point.

      I found out there was a difference because I was raised by immigrants and my teacher thought I was being difficult

      I’m from the uk, and not only do I not use a period (I use a comma), but I’ve never seen anyone use anything other than a comma.

      All of the people arguing about it in the comments are so funny

      You’re typing in English. Every anglophone country uses a period (except for South Africa). Use a period. When you type in other languages, use the correct separator. It’s really not that hard

      I think you’ll find a lot of countries use both, official documents excepted.

      I’m going to be honest, using commas to separate numbers and periods to separate prices makes far more sense.

      The entire purpose of a comma is to denote a sentence continues with a break, a period stops. So a period separating dollars from cents is far more sensible than a comma. And large numbers continue, so using a comma makes sense for that.
