I don't care. They're wrong. We're right.

Ze Germans write 1,000,000.00 like this: 1.000.000,00

It's nonsense. They should be invaded and their capitalistic rights taken away from them. Then the Russians can march in and finish the job.
Jonny, you are my God, inferior only to the omnipotent Lopez. I agree entirely, it's dumb, stupid, wrong and reaches epic levels of fail.

Foreign accountants that use our software are the stupidest. I thought to be an accountant you had to be clever?

Are you sure they don't write it 1 000 000,00? At least that is how it was in my Maths lessons in France back in my old secondary school.

That said, I used to write 1 000 000.00 and didn't get marked down or anything. Hand written it doesn't make a difference, however I agree that in a computer program it starts to create problems.

That's because it was in FRANCE you wally

Different people there. They eat cheese, build towers, drink wine, build Renaults, probably have long ovens because they bake funny shaped bread, live down the end of a tunnel under the sea, ride bikes and wear berrets and striped t-shirts. At work they wear blue overalls, strike a lot and smoke.
