number formatting & grouping

[jenk]

Raymond talks about some locale-specific notes on number formatting, including that China & Japan group in fours. So the US number 12,304,567.89 would be

1230 4567.89

in China or Japan.

I thought this was interesting. But then I have been told I have weird values for "interesting".

I also liked this comment:

Travel broadens the parochial mind you never knew you had, and makes you a better programmer/designer/techie.

As a bonus it also exposes you to better beer.
