SMF 2 Problem

<< < (2/2)

Aloone_Jonez:
The comma is not normal for the UK, I think it's an eastern European thing. The forum probably has some sort of feature to enable the users to set it in their preferences but it's hardly worth it.

I think it's also accepted under some engineering drawing standard which is think is bullshit.

Refalm:
So you just write one million as
1000000?

Aloone_Jonez:
No we use commas every three zeros i.e. on million is 1000,000 but we use a full stop for the decimal place.

worker201:
In America, we get confused when people say 'full stop'.  At the end of a sentence, we refer to it as a 'period'.  In URLs, it's a 'dot'.  And in mathematical notation, it's a 'decimal point'.

Aloone_Jonez:
A full stop normally comes at the end of a sentence.

I didn't want to say decimal because some people think that's a comma.

A period where I live is either an interval of time or moody time of the month for a female.

This is very confusing.
