What I don't understand is why some people use different symbols for different things in numbers.
For example, I use "." for decimal point (9.099 - nine point zero nine nine) and "," for separating thousands (9,099 - nine thousand ninety nine). That's the way I've always been taught and that's the way that makes the most sense to me. Using a comma for a decimal point has always been so foreign to me because, well, it's not a point!

I've been using a comma for decimals my whole life
I find it weird that people use a 'point' I only use points in sentences.
And I write big numbers with spaces: 9 325 750 for example

Yeah, it's really interesting. I remember when I first learned that people from other countries did that I was so confused, because I had no idea what that meant!
I read that number as three separate numbers, almost like a phone number more than an integer.

The correct answer is 9,100. Period.
didn't even realize.
