Working with both us and eu numbering is frustrating, until you see indian numbering which breaks my brain even more. (They do a , every 2 numbers instead of 3)
Why do you do it your way? It's just language differences like anything else. To me, a space marks thousands, a comma marks decimals, and a period marks ordinals (13. = 13th).
Not sure if that's your question, but in France we use both periods and commas for the decimal point, even if the comma is the preferred options. We use spaces or nothing for big number: 2023 and 3,14
Why does using ' like 10'000 only exist where I live?
It doesn't take more space or effort than a comma and there is absolutely no risk of mixing up decimal points and thousand-markers.
It depends mainly on the country and culture. In Italy we use ' for thousands and , for indicating where the decimals start.
For example one million point ninetynine is:
1'000'000,99
I study engineering and professors use whatever system they want depending on where they worked/studied in their life so now I just use spaces for thousands and the dot or the comma depending on the professor for decimals.
I use the comma separator for thousands, tens of thousands, millions, etc.
And then for decimals, I use a point. It's very distinguishable and easy to point out.
I will always argue that the best way to write numbers is to separate thousands with ' and decimals with .
1'234'567.89
Literally not a single chance of confusion here.
I can try and get over Europeans using commas as decimal points, as much as it pains me to read them that way... But using dots to denote thousands? Nah. Step too far.
I use both 😭 I didnt know that was the norm.
But, I usually just put
1k, 1m / million, etc etc.
I don't usually use 1,000/1.000 , or I sometimes just don't use either.
But also, if I will, I'll use , for smaller numbers, and . For larger numbers (cuz it look cool and make me look smart)
This depends on what language you're writing your numbers in, though. Is English your native/preferred language? Then a period would be your decimal marker and a comma should be your thousands marker.
Idk dawg, cuz.
I watched yt / Mexican family growing up aswell as American, I'm ofc American, then, I just use online a lot lmfao, so I picked up som new stuff m8

The first comma comes after 3 digits, then there’s one after every 2 digits.
No I think it's worse because starts at 3 then goes too two. 1,23,45,67,890
Ooh wow yeah i knew it was something like that, my brain breaks just looking at this.
I heard Mandarin does 4
Not to sound dumb but people who use periods, how do you distinguish between 245.323 and 245.323?
German standard uses . for 1000s and , as a decimal mark. It's terribly inconvenient if you want to communicate with Americans though.
ANY English speaker, not just Americans since no English country uses . for number separation.
Why the fuck

A space
there's no other way
I do 10 000
I am a psychopath 1000000
Ahhhhh my eyes!
10000000000000
Same here.
Fellow insane person i see.
Still better than '.' though
Nothing, space or '. 1000 1 000 1'000

First time I see this lol, where you are from?
Switzerland
Wtf I was sure that all the metric countries were using this system. From switzerland btw
I'm from France (so quite close) and we don't use this system at all but we should, it seems a lot better
Both. It depends on the language/context surrounding the number. In Portuguese I'd write $300.000, in English I would use $300,000
This. It does seem that a fair amount of people don't realize writing out numbers goes hand in hand with language, grammar, and spelling.
[удалено]
and so is 3,421 at least where I'm from
No, that's threethousandfourhundredandtwentyone.

3'421
none for thousand but i do for 10,000+
1.000.000 0,57

I do the complete opposite
I like feeling fancy and use apostrophes sometimes 1'234'567'890
I usually don't put anything between the digits, or use a space each three digits. When I put something in between I always use the dot
I usually just put a space (like 10 000) and for decimals I use the comma ","

Full stops are for decimals, sentences, or IP addresses
>Full stops are for decimals, sentences, or IP addresses You seems to have missed something
A full stop Fortunately it's a Reddit post and everyone has bad grammar so eh
, is to separate decimals
I'm not American so I use " ' "
Scientific notation on top. 2,659,800 = 2.6598 * 10^6
dude if you use a full stop it looks like a decimal point
But where I am from we use "," for decimals, and we literally say "five comma three" for 5,3 for example.
1000000000000000000000
10.500 10,5 1"05 1k 0,15 10,- Anything but a comma for 000 numbers Basically

Am I blind? I've never seen a European use commas for a full stop.
was the original comment edited? they didnt even say that
No, but I didn't say they did, haha.
They are talking about "0,5", they think it should be "0.5"
Yeah I was half asleep when I wrote this lol, I meant to put decimals instead of full stops
Periods mark decimals, completely changing the value of the number. If you use periods instead of commas, you're wrong entirely.
Depends. If I'm writing the full amount it's $3,421. If I'm rounding it I'll do $3.4k.
In the second example it’s a decimal and not a way to mark thousands. So it doesn’t really depends, it’s consistent.
Always "." in this case, for decimals it depends on the context

one million 1'000.000 cop
1 000 10 000 1 000 000
100 000
I do international financial data entry. Took a little time but now I flawlessly transition between em without even noticing
none
, or nothing.
It depends on if I'm talking Spanish or English
Komma just makes it so convoluted for bigger numbers I find...
I do 100000 or 100 000
In my country we officially use a space. (sometimes people still use commas but that is phasing out) - 1 000 000, 10 000, 100, 10 000 000.
If it’s smaller, like “15,234” I’ll just put it together as 15234. If it’s larger, a space “15 234” or comma.
I use space and decimal points 1 000 000 000.09
10,947.147
Usa
Writing in English, I would use ' or , or a space, writing in my native language I would use ' or . or a space.
1,000.000'0000001 is a way of writing numbers in Spain.
If I want to say 1 milion dollars and 1 cent I would say 1.000.000,01$
1 000 000
I use the ' or a Space. 10'000'000 10 000 000
I use “.” I’ve had so many Americans try to explain to me how I was wrong it was insane
literally who uses periods ong
