The period decimal point separator (bottom) is the single example in which Burgerland has a superior formatting system to Eurasia CMV in c/chat@hexbear.net

In a sentence, the comma denotes a continuation of that sentence, whereas the period means full stop. Why should it be different for numbers?

A comma means you are continuing on the whole part of the number, whereas the period means the whole part is over, now on to the fractional aspect.

This has been bothering me since 2020. Millennials and Zoomers on Hexbear: without googling, do you know who Alfred E. Neuman is? in c/askchapo@hexbear.net

Loved MAD when I was younger. Been hoping to dig up my old stash one of these days, if only I knew where to find it in my parent's basement.
