I agree.

>using a full stop to separate sections of a whole number, which are continuous, and using a comma, which denotes continuity, to separate the whole number from the decimal.

Why you always have to be different from others? You are so brits in this

>Using points or commas in non-decimal numbers.
Why do you fuckers have to be so damn retarded all the time?
>>
>>60765357
so you don't have to read all the numbers you can just look at the commas to know the number
>>
>>60765357
Helps break up large numbers into something more easily read.

Generally I don't do it in my working but I appreciate those who do.

>>60765531
If I'm looking at columns and rows of large digit numbers then spacing can get a bit fucking gross and hard to differentiate data points. Commas at least show that you're dealing with the same number and eliminate any ambiguity from people's variance in penmanship when writing stuff down.

Nothing if you have a VPN. Snapchat, Facebook, all Google services, and some other crap I couldn't care about. Oddly enough I sometimes get Facebook messages and Snapchat even if my VPN is off

>HE USES A DOT INSTEAD OF A MULTIPLICATION SIGN

Other thing that bothers me is that anglos use short system while we are taught in long system. So for them a thousand millions represent a billion, while for us a billion is one million of millions.
Admittedly the short one works better, but it brings some confusion when people say "gringo spends a billion dollars in x".

It is unfortunate.

DD/MM/YYYY masterrace.

>>60766023
I don't know which job you do that makes you look at obnoxiously big numbers.
100 000 000 000 000 000 000 is still perfectly readable for me, if you can't then we could just agree to disagree.
In spanish we just don't do that, the RAE specifically discourages using punctuation for big numbers, only commas for decimals.

There's nothing wrong with saying "fourteen of july". It's actually more neat than "july fourteenth"
>>
>>60766249
>Fourteen July 2016

you mean

>the 14th of July

It does make more sense to go smallest to largest (day, month, year) honestly
