Listen buddy. 99 out of 100 english speakers you send “2,281” to are going to think two thousand two hundred eighty one. That makes the math wrong. When you’re trying to tell somebody the holocaust never happened, don’t show up with such a dumb mistake.
And yes this stuff matters. The difference between 1,000 and 1.000 are extremely significant in any real life application. It would simply be wrong to suggest otherwise.
On your part this is an extremely random thing to sperg over. Which is why it makes sense you have some pre-existing resentment or something.
You know people can also speak multiple languages, right? I speak 3. And as I said, they just got the notation wrong.
Anyone who speaks more than 1 language (unlike 'muricans) is well aware of potential mistakes in such things. Even in programming it's a known concept to use the right "culture" for things like that (en-gb, en-us). In fact, it is normal for multilingual people to consider multiple notations and cultures, because it's something people could mistake. It's a minor thing really, not worthy of mention even.
When I see 1,000 or 1.000, I don't sperg out like a low-IQ retard, instead ***I think what makes more sense and assume the 100% correct one is what is obviously meant.*** That's what you don't, because you have that 'murican center-of-the-world arrogance. Instead you get insane over a fucking comma.
I am happy that I am not an American. It's the world capital of usury and niggers. Disgusting.
Also from [here](https://www.smartick.com/blog/other-contents/curiosities/decimal-separators/):
> The majority of European countries use the decimal comma.
> Different countries in Asia use different decimal separators
> The countries found to the north, like the U.S.A and Canada, use the decimal point, although the comma is used in the Francophone area of Canada as well. Countries closer to Central America, such as Mexico and the Caribbean Islands, also use the decimal point. However, South American countries such as Venezuela, Chile, Argentina, Colombia, and Uruguay, among others, use the comma.
