    @lucas22 I love that croatia is not in that list (even though it uses comma as decimal separator). Fuck croatia!

    @SpeedyCate I guess it should be linked to the language of the text. If I write something in Portuguese (Brazil here) I use commas for decimals. Dots if it's English or code.

    @lucas22 I'm not using commas that often, so I'm forgetting to switch when I have to use them instead :P
