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

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

Wait till you find out what the Swiss use for separating thousands

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. 🫠

I am from Luxembourg and we do not learn both in school. In primary school (6 years) we learn math in german, using commas and in secondary school we learn math in french, using commas aswell (7 years)

using both seems dangerous.
