    I have noticed a mixture of decimal point indicators on invoices these days, and it certainly isn't unusual to get one using the comma [,] as a decimal point rather than the more logical full-stop [.].

    Who's to say that the full-stop is more "logical"? Why not the colon or semicolon?

    Why not, indeed, the comma?

    (Living in the Netherlands, I see the comma as decimal separator all the time... )
