I'm wondering if it's based mostly on region or language. For example,
I know that for the English-speaking portion of North America, we use
comma for the thousands separator. But for the French-speaking
population (e.g. Quebec), or when writing in French, comma is the
decimal separator.
Do Swedes, Norwegians, etc. use period as the thousands separator even
when writing in English?
