091 numeri

In Italy, Europe, and Mexico, the commas and decimals in numbers are reversed. So, nineteen thousand is 19.000 and a gelato might cost you 1,50. I'm curious to know where else in the world this occurs. I do know that scientific papers are published in English, and use decimals and commas like we do...

And to tell time, the colon we use in English is replaced by a comma. Plus, military time is used exclusively, so 8:30 pm is 20,30.

A few random blog notes - I had to introduce comment moderation because I was getting too much comment spam. Also, the computer I use to download photos is broken, so until I find a computer shop that will sell me a USB cable, I'm not going to be uploading more photos.
