        And those countries are wrong. Using a comma as a decimal point makes no logical sense, especially in computing. And it’s ugly from an aesthetics standpoint.

          It’s only ugly because you aren’t used to it.

          Also, both systems make equally as much - or little - sense. Math notations is just using whichever symbol is commonly available and easy to write without asking whether it makes logical sense.

          Are you complaining that the factorial operator makes no logical sense either? Or the “#” symbol for the cardinality of a set?
