In Candyman, the scene where Tony Todd had bees flying out of his mouth were REAL BEES. Todd only agreed to do the scene if they pay him $1000 for every bee sting. He earned $27,000 for that scene (files.catbox.moe)

Dafuq? It makes way more sense than using a dot for the separator and a comma for the decimals. Commas are literally for separating related ideas in a single sentence. The thousands position is related to/part of the hundreds place in a single number. What's your crazy logic for using a terminator within a single number representation?

Commas are literally for separating related ideas in a single sentence.

While I personally think it's arbitrary which characters to use as separators I can't follow that logic.

Thinking of sentences, a comma separates stuff that belongs together while a dot is literally a full stop. All of the comma/dot separated parts belong to the same number though. So, why are thousands/millions more closely related than integers/digits?

You said it yourself, "a comma separates stuff that belongs together". The integers. I can type 27000 and its valid, I can space them integers with a comma 27,000 they belong together. Decimals are different to integers, so they are marked with a period, like the end of a sentence (of integers).

You can argue either way honestly, but more of the world use periods for decimal notation. So it would make more sense if we just adopted that (never going to happen though).

27,000 and 1.5

Why do 27 and 000 belong closer together than 1 and 5? Both numbers are incomplete when leaving out a component.

You can argue either way honestly

Agreed, it's completely arbitrary.

more of the world use periods for decimal notation

It's two pretty large groups but you've got India and China, so population wise it's pretty clear. Let's make a deal: we (Europe) switch to the dot as decimal separator if the US switches to metric.

I kinda like laughing at the US for measuring things in AR15s though.

How about using spaces?

I will smash your face through a car windshield, then take your mother, Dorothy Nantooth, out to a nice seafood dinner, and never call her again!
