I am not talking about dot com. I want to talk about an interesting topic, and that is dot and comma. I saw an advertisement in gaga bux where a person get a whopping amount of dollar eight hundred sixty-six and fifty nine cents. He wrote as 866,59 instead of 866.59. A comma can give a big difference. There may be two reasons for this, 1st the person don't know the difference of a {.} and a {,} 2ndly he is doing intentionally. What do you think?

Ehm, at Europe we use dot instead of comma and comma instead of the decimal dot. That's the reason!

and I don't understand how this can be done intentionally. We all know that $800,10 is not $800,100 !!

Ok that's why its looks different. Well, I was confuse and now I understand the real mystery behind this. Actually the international standard and yours are little different. We studied that comma and decimal has a vast difference. It can change the value of any digits. 10.00 and 10,00 has 100 times difference. 10.00 is ten and 10,000 is ten thousand. We can write 10.00 as 10 but we can't write 10,000 as 10 we can write 10,000 as 10000 Have a great day. I have got a new lesson from you :)

No my friend. If you write 10,00 it DOESN'T mean 10,000! It doesn't mean anything! It's not like decimal (if you write 10.00 or 10 or 10.000 it's the same), that the zero is imported!
