I did not get what you meant at first but yeah most of us europeans us "," as a decimal and "." to make bigger numbers more readable

Is this is how it is taught in schools as well? Doesn't the scientific community use the symbols in the order, i.e, "." for decimals and "," to separate thousands, etc.

[โ€“] lud@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Most international standards say that either "." Or "," can be used as a decimal separator and a space should be used as a thousands seperator.
