I wouldn't use excel as an example, it's most likely going to interpret it as a date no matter what you type

I mentioned excel because it's been my arch enemy for the past 3 years to the point where I had to spend a substantial amount of time writing my own library for reading excel files maddened The thing I'm specifically talking about is how formulas may look different across localizations. For example the sum function looks as follows in english:

=SUM(1,2,3)

while in russian it looks like this:

=СУММ(1;2;3)

and excel will not allow you to type the english version

This brought back my biggest grievance with parsing numbers, chat apps interpreting any 5+ character long numbers as phone numbers

No, I don't want to call 10.000

funnily enough, phone number parsing is one of my previous arch enemies. Having to turn whaterver bullshit user has typed into a phone number probably reduced my life expectancy by several months

yeah "easier" was not the right word. I meant comma has been historically used as a seperator for lists of values(which I think makes a lot of sense).

It's not really just one character tho since with comma as a decimal point separator, something like "100,200" can be interpreted either as a number or a list of two number. For example with Excel, geniuses at microsoft decided to replace comma with a semicolon for some localizations which makes the program really annoying to use across multiple languages

Edit: sorry I'm very sleep deprived so I'm not sure if any of it makes sense. To clarify: I'm assuming that comma as list separator makes sense because there is essentially no debate over "comma" vs "some other list separator", however there is such a debate for decimal separator. Having the same symbol mean two different things makes text harder to parse

as someone who grew up using the comma, I agree. Mostly because it's easier for computers to parse

Without clicking the link - it's about the substance, right?
