I forgot that periods are used in some places instead of commas for thousands and was wondering how you could get 0.934 of a person

For some reason though its written as 4.84 instead which I thought should be written as 4,84?

Sound about right.

Are spaces used in place of commas in regular casual conversations, too? In Australia, I've only ever seen them used in really formal documents like financial reports, never really anywhere else

Using commas looks weird here. You never really see anything other than spaces unless it’s foreign

I was taught to use spaces for thousands in Canberra
