No, it isn’t. It is because the english-speaking countries decided to adopt the period as a decimal marker while literally the entire rest of europe used a comma.

And we weren’t colonized by Britain.

It’s pretty clear that, given the other uses for a period and a comma, the english way is better (for once)

$1,000,000.00

$1.000.000,00

The “.” as a delimiter is awkward and contrary to how it is used in non-numeric contexts. The top way looks much cleaner, and allows the comma to continue seperating things within a whole and the period to bring an air of finality to whatever precedes it.

Mercenary · January 30, 2019, 2:46pm

It is cleaner.
It just isn’t gross or wrong.

It’s just very annoying that they are different to be honest.

orangeandblack5 · January 30, 2019, 2:52pm

At everything else we do

Farenheit sucks

Imperial units suck

MM/DD/YYYY sucks

It’s all garbage except for 1,000.00

Meanwhile, Britain comes to a standstill due to 4 inches of snow

Like c’mon

I know we’re massive complaining layabouts but this takes the cake

Blizer · January 30, 2019, 5:01pm

That’s actually sad NGL

BlueStorm · January 30, 2019, 5:02pm

and they said we could survive on our own

ha ha ha

Emilia · January 30, 2019, 5:03pm

Britain is a myth it’s not real continent

BlueStorm · January 30, 2019, 5:07pm

I think you’re thinking of Australia, which is an elaborate hoax

Emilia · January 30, 2019, 5:09pm

It’s Austria lol

CheesyKnives · January 31, 2019, 7:07am

No, Australia is America but upside down
It’s Canada which doesn’t exist

Solic · January 31, 2019, 7:25am

Coming super early for job interview or just on a normal time is nervewrecking. You’re either just stewing there for what feels like eternity or you stress so much about making it on time. (45 minutes early, because I thought snow might be a bitch)

Marluxion · January 31, 2019, 7:45am

Just pretend the interviewer is in his underwear

Icibalus · January 31, 2019, 7:56am
