History is written by the "winners" and we were the winners. So just as well we didn't get a different result..  | | | | Paul |

| | Posted: | | | | Well it is not the 85,000 Muslims I am `afraid` off. It is a few rotten ones that will take up anything to start a riot.
Most Muslims in The Netherlands know this guy and won't take him very seriously. | | | | Jean-Paul | | | | Last edited: by Zoeper |

| | Posted: | | | | Now I'm really confused. In the US 85,000 means 85 thousand, but I thought that in Europe it meant 85.
I'm always confused by the different use of punctuation for zero separators and decimal points on our side and your side of the pond. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)

I'm always confused by the different use of punctuation for zero separators and decimal points on our side and your side of the pond. Europe consist of several countries - of which some use "." as decimal separator others use ",". | | | Regards

| | Posted: | | | | As far as I know English-language countries (including UK and Ireland) would use 85,000 for 85 thousand and other European countries would write 85.000 for 85 thousand.
And it's a common mistake for non-native English speakers to use the latter when they mean the first... | | | | Last edited: by dee1959jay |

...or just 85 000  But yea comma is always for decimals here. No comma here! We use the dot for decimals here. So it is 85'000.00 ! Now you can find out where here is. EDIT: Yes, it is an European country. EDIT2: In handwriting we see a lot of commas though. | | | | Last edited: by RHo |
