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? -- Hubert Chan - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
