That's what I was thinking. Then, I realized, oh wait, it's Europe.

I love/hate that many Europeans use a "." when they're supposed to (USA! USA! USA!) use a "," and vice versa.

Actually the correct way of writing that number would be: '22 222'. No unnecessary comma or point.

But 22 and 222 add up to 244, and Tender has 22,229.

Silly Europeans.

Inserting a decimal point typically suggests that the next sequence of numbers is a decimal; 22.222 would be twenty-two and two-hundred and twenty-two thousandths, while 22,222 would be twenty-two thousand, two hundred and twenty-two.

Blue countries are morally superior. Stuff like 20 000 or 20,00% or 22.000 is stupid. Smiley

Love how the countries who use "non-Arabic numerals" are Saudi Arabia, the rest of the GCC, Iraq, Syria, etc. (ie: Arabic-speaking countries).

I know Iran is not an Arabic-speaking country...

Using decimals as 1000 seperators and commas for decimals is stupid.

"." implies a full stop while "," a continuation, making 2,409.35 more appropriate.

I just feel that the period ends the number prematurely. It is a full stop.

In German, yes. In English, no.
22,222 and 22.222 have this in common, that they are not formulated in a language. Tongue

The only correct way to write the number in English is clearly "twenty-two thousand two hundred and twenty-two".
