Okay, thank you. Anyway: is here somebody who actually knows WHY this happened? What was the underlying cause for our ansestors to start using it? What were they trying to achieve or solve? (UNINTENTIONALLY, okay, we got it.)

I also need to think it through every time I use it, because in my native language there is only 1 word for both. (Hungarian)

I don't go very often, about once a month, but it's the bar with my friends.

We solved it in Hungary by absolutely not having a thousands separator. At least not officially. A couple of people and systems use space, but most of the people doesn't separate thousands at all. The decimal separator is a dot.

Put a refactor ticket in the backlog. We'll get to it eventually, right?

Wirde.

Or the cook.

In most vampire worlds they are stuck with the age they were bit. (IIRC.)

This is just amazing!

Same in Hungary.

Oh, a D6x0. 620 was my first ever company laptop! I loved it. Easily swappable cd-rom, you could change it to an additional 4cell battery. Combined with a 9 cell one it lasted basically the whole work day.

This is the epitome of Poe's law
