Um, no thanks! I did binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal when I was working. That is plenty I think.
Yeah, well besides generally not being able to learn more than English, apparently Americans (meaning USA) can't learn metric either. We were SUPPOSEDLY going to switch over maybe 50 years ago. Nothing like fixing something that has a combination of English and Metric nuts and bolts.
I PROBABLY would have figured that out. Somewhere in the far dusty reaches of my brain I did know that some countries use that designation. Odd that the USA system is the reverse using the same characters.
So what do YOU call the "." character when it is used in numbers? Here we call it a decimal point (for obvious reasons).
Gee Kelsey, REAL sympathetic of you!!
