The reverse surely? Europe (and lots of other countries) is comma, UK is decimal point. Scrap that, you’re talking separator not decimal. As you were.

For example, 500.000 is five hundred, not five hundred thousand. Five hundred thousand is 500,000. This is primary school level stuff. Who uses a point instead of a comma in denoting 1000s (ie not as a decimal point/comma)? I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen a ‘000 separator as a point. If it’s at your work I would report them to the police immediately. Edited January 14, 2021 by Melanius Mullarkey 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean my PTTGOYN is you having three digits after the decimal point for it's 500, that would be two. The first digit after is redundant because it can only be zero. 500,000 500.000 Same 500.000 50.00 Different 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you trying to see that having three decimal places is wrong? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do they show both i.e. 500.000.00 is 500 , 000 in our money? Bloody foreigners coming here and stealing our numbering system! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still get these guys in some of the shadier pubs in Glasgow but it's normally shoplifted from Marks and Spencers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's supposed to be a ratio, not an exact measurement. You're supposed to work out how big you want your 'cup' to be, and dole the ingredients out in the proportions given. It's a reasonable enough idea, but relies upon the cook having some experience of calculating portion sizes. Folk used to have at least one person in the house who could do that shit, can you believe it? Crazy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
