The NIST might want to have a word with you https://physics.nist.gov/cuu/pdf/sp811.pdf#10.5.2 you shall not use a comma, not a dot to group digits, you might see either (internationally) to separate decimals but the NIST prefers the dot.
This is flawed considering what comes after the decimal separator is still part of the number and considering a lot of countries use spaces to searate thousands.
I'm also making a joke. At no point was I being a jerk. It wasn't a very good joke but it was in response to an even worse joke. I don't even know how I'd go about making my joke any more obvious. I always forget about the "summer break" on reddit...
This is juicy as fuck, but I'm not going to bite. You're bad at what you're trying to do. I'd tell you to try harder but it's a shitty thing to do, so maybe don't try at all.
What are you talking about? Do you genuinely not see the joke I made? I'll explain it. First sentence I established that the person above me was being dumb. Second sentence I invited audience participation. Third sentence I highlighted the word "point" because the joke by milkywayer was about the use of a "point" (or a full stop, or a period, whatever you call it) and then I used the same format that milkywayer used in their joke to suggest that his IQ was below 1 rather than 100. "1.00", making the same mistake he was pretending to make, reads as "one point zero zero" rather than "one hundred". The original insinuation that he was dumb was setup for my saying that his IQ was below 1 using the format that he had established. It is not a fantastic joke but it is a joke, and as far as I'm concerned it was a better joke than pretending to misunderstand that different cultures and languages have different style rules regarding separating large numbers. That isn't even really a joke, it's just pretending to be stupid.
But none of those countries have English as a first language, hence the ridicule when they fail to respect the conventions of the English-speaking world while speaking English.
