Numbers consisting of long sequences of digits can be made more readable by separating them into groups, preferably groups of three, separated by a small space. For this reason, ISO 31-0 specifies that such groups of digits should never be separated by a comma or point, as these are reserved for use as the decimal sign. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_31-0#Numbers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_31-0#Numbers
- karli 14y agoI did not knew that there is an ISO standard for this, will use it the next time, thank you!
- unwind 14y agoYou mean the standards/convention vary by region. :) On the other hand, if writing in English, it makes sense to use the conventions for English, not the German ones just because you might happen to be German.
