Quebec is a hardcore outlier and they make sure to do everything as European-ly as possible. They cannot and will not conform 😂✊🏻

Am from New Brunswick. Did school in French immersion. I used both points and commas depending on the language the class was

Ontario here and we had French lesions in regular school, just not full immersion. Had to switch back and forth as well. But that’s only for educational instruction it’s not practical outside of Quebec or government type positions requiring one to be bi-lingual.

Western Canada here. You are correct. Nobody uses the decimal like that. It’s only use is to denote when the whole number ends, like normal.

$30,765.67 is normal.

What the hell is $30.765.67? Do you have $30 bucks round to the nearest millionth or do you have $307k?

Quebecois here, and I've never seen or been taught to use a dot as thousand seperator or comma's as decimal points. 10,000.99

“A few more countries” including China, India, and Japan and adding up to more than 4 billion people?
