Hi everyone, it's not an important question, but why on earth does my profile say I post 13.750 post per day? :hmm:
This is how it looks:

55 (13.750 per day) :eh?:
just a problem/error I guess, but I still wanted to ask.
Thank you,

That should be right, I think. You've only been registered for 4 full days now, so your average is 14 posts a day.

13.750 is American for 13,750.

13.750 is American for 13,750.
Oh yes, that's where the confusion is, I guess! I forget there's a difference there.

how?? its almost 14 not thirteen thousand seven hundred and fifty
the "." is a period not a "," comma
It is showing 13 whole and .75 or 3/4 of a post to go with peoples 2 1/4 average children :lol:

Whoever came up with different formats for dates and decimals will also spend eternity in the SPECIAL hell. Just sayin. WE HATES THEM.

really, I did not know. As if the SAE and Metric was not bad enough. The worst is when you are working on a piece of equipment and they used both sets :hmm:
so a "," is a "." in Europe ? In the US you would write $13,245.56 Thirteen thousand two hundred forty five dollars and fifty six cents. In Europe you write $13.245,56 ?

Looooooots of numbers 8}
But I think I get it, thanks. :)

Correct. I think that's why we see crazy prices on ebay sometimes, people trying to sell in a different currency and not realizing the numbering format is different.

Not at all. We would write 13245, 56€ (with € at the end!) for thirty thousand two hundred forty five point fifty six AND 13, 24556€ if it's thirteen point 24556! ;)
-
So nothing divides the thousand from the hundred? I would think that would make it difficult to read a really long number.
-
In the US the numbers are broken down into groups. Hundreds, thousand, millions, billions, etc..... all by ","'s and full dollars are ended with a "." then you write the change
$12,345,678.90
we have the "$" sign in the front but it is said at the end 8} then the change
twelve million, three hundred forty five thousand, six hundred seventy eight dollars & ninty cents
-
When the number is big, we tend to separate the figures three by three, with just a blank space between: 2 330 451, 50 would be read two million three hundred thirty thousand four hundred fifty one "virgule" (that's "," in French) fifty. We manage easily, though you're the ones who stepped on the moon, of course! :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: Hey, there's no right or wrong way to do this, just different. ;)

Aye, but not everywhere in Europe uses the periods, commas, and spaces that way! But that definitely seems to be the source of this confusion. :lol:
