$27 isn't really a lot considering each bee was supposed to be $1000
American notation - they use comma every three orders of magnitude, and dot for decimal separator. It's almost as retarded as imperial measurement system, but what can you do.
I'd love to hear what's objectively 'wrong' with this one. They're arbitrary symbols. If anything, isn't the decimal more akin to a full stop, while a digit separator is more of a pause?
Having a full stop between thousands is just as stupid. It's completely arbitrary. It's only unfortunate that it's yet another difference hindering communication (and numbers parsing, dammit)
