• Ah, yes, maybe, Kelsey.

    BUT if you are going to call it the "decimal point", then there is only only one punctuation symbol that resembles a point, and that is the full-stop. Surely?

    Otherwise, then let's call it a decimal comma, a decimal exclamation mark, or even a decimal colon!

    As for the thousands separator, the space is completely illogical, as, mechanistically, one doesn't know whether one is dealing with a list of numbers, or continuation of the previous number.

    If ever there is a revolution, let's re-organise separators completely, as follows:

    So that 100,678,830.56 could become 100T678T830D56.

    Only joking!

    Ken.
