Ruling over 30.000 feet
(lemmy.world)
Real reason why Muricans don't want the metric system
30 doesn't seem very high
He's excited with how precisely we know it to be exactly 30.000 feet. No one wants partial feet!
funny and all, but is there actually a universal way to mark this? I personally use "." for decimalpoint, "," as a seperator, and spaces or nothing between thousands (or whatever they're called)
like:
- 34 673, 60 137.5, 3.14
- 34673, 60137.5, 3.14
I do . for dedimal and , for separating thousands.
E.g.: 123,345,678.9
Although where I live, it would generally be written as: 123 345 678,9
Or how about either 123'345'678.9 or 123_345_678.9?
last one is nice for coding or text in general. But I can't never imagine myself writing that on paper. On paper I don't even use what I stated above, now that I think about it. I write on paper like: 12 345,6 ; 78,9
wierd huh.
Pfft lmao
