spaces rather than commas

monday, 25 june, 2007 14:05 MAT

numbers with more than 4 digits sometimes have a space as a place value separator rather than a comma.

ie. 50,000 vs 50 000

this has taken me some time to get used to. i don't like it, but i understand it now. i have been told that the use of commas are an american thing.

And some countries use the decimal point and comma opposite of how Americans use them. Confusing when you're trying to purchase something sometimes.
