International language musings:

Extract from ISO 31 (Part 0, Paragraph 3 only):

Starting from, and on either side of, the decimal mark, digits should be placed into groups of three.

The groups should be separated by a small space, never a comma or point.

The decimal sign is a comma on the line. In English language documents a point on the line is often used instead of a comma, and this usage is acknowledged in the ISO 31 standard.

The comma must never be used as the thousands mark.

A million is written as '1 000 000' and a millionth as '0,000 001' or '0.000 001' and so on.


It would be nice if we could at least all standardize on the so sensible ISO date standard of (high to low) year/month/day...
