Ha......ha

Banned for 1.000.000.000.000.000 = 1000000000000000, duh "." symbolizes each 1.000 (one thousand).

"Human beings are a disease, and we are the cure"

Banned because those are periods/decimal points, not commas.

Well, here is an example: 1,250 = one point twenty five. 1.250 = one thousand two hundred and fifty.

Banned for thats what they taught us in school.

"Human beings are a disease, and we are the cure"

Banned because they always taught me the exact opposite.

Banned cause I live in Greece. Does that have anything to do with it?

"Human beings are a disease, and we are the cure"

Banned for miscalculations.   1.250= 1 1/4

I will trade 1.250 dollars US for 1,250 dollars US any day of the week. 

and banned again because Scoutdog is correct and they are not interchangeable.

Banned for morph was taught in a completely different system.

In Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Slovenia and much of Europe: 1 234 567,89 or 1.234.567,89 (in handwriting, 1˙234˙567,89 is also seen, but never in Denmark, Portugal, Sweden or Slovenia. In Italy, when handwriting, a straight apostrophe is also used: 1'234'567,89

In France, the period was already in use in printing to make Roman numerals more readable, so the comma was chosen

However, English-speaking countries took the comma to separate sequences of three digits

Banned for inconclusion, Greece as a non english speaking country who invented roman numerals is more likely to still use . as decimal or thousand seperator.

hahaha noobs I pwn you

Ok guys, to end this already, here is the #1 Greek online shop for computers & technology products. Just check the prices:

http://www.plaisio.gr/Computers/Desktop/PC.htm?sort=pricedesc

The first item is a one thousand eight hundred sixty one euro premade PC. = 1.861,00 €

Just click on the link, and stop pestering me. This is Europe, not the US. Like Altaux said, many countries in EU use different systems than the one you use in the US.

Banned for

1.250 = one thousand two hundred and fifty.

1,250 = 1 1/4

KTHXBAI

"Human beings are a disease, and we are the cure"

Banned because I have only ever seen it using decimal points, even in European media.

A few European countries might use the US system, I dont know. But most of them use different ones.

FAIL

Of course they are interchangeable.

And if you did that in Greece, then you would have traded 1 thousand and 250 dollars, for 1 dollar and 25 cents. Then, the lucky person who traded with you, would have to go to any bank, and exchange dollars for euros.

Banned for this sums it up quite nicely:

Thanks Alt I would have PWNED them myself earlier, but I was asleep at that time.

"Human beings are a disease, and we are the cure"

Banned for math and for teaching me something, it makes my head hurt.    However, I do see your (decimal) point.

Banned for, yes young Padawan, you have a great future in front of you.
