And DIN norms? πŸ˜„

Oops, sorry. I thought I was clear enough. Obviously I wasn't

I was just confused why you mentioned 30.000 (with a dot) instead of 30,000 (with a comma) in the post body and the title. I haven't seen such a usage before.

Anyways, thanks for your response. I didn't know there were norms dictating usages like 10.000 😲Have a great day πŸ™‚

You have standards for this

A good read is here:
languageediting.com/format-numbers...

It is the same with dates :)
I would write 12.03.2012
But is it March 12 or December 03?
or what about 12.03.12 or 12/03/12?

dates and times and numbers when you go out in the big big world are a mess :D
