... So I'm sitting here reading the first page of this thread thinking to myself, "Six pages, they can't all be bashing each others countries and arguing about punctuations..."... Turn right to page six, and sure enough... 
I actually read through all this crap  and I can't believe this thread hasn't been locked yet.
Well since I've read it all then I must comment. And Wren you do realize that Swedish people don't actually use the words decimal point to describe their decimal comma they speak Swedish for christs sake. Actually the word they use is 'decimalkomma'.
Icelanders do you use decimal comma. I do however see it as a problem because it causes a lot of confusion when nations have different definitions on how they interpret numbers but it's a hard to make a nation change their customs.
Americans (as far as I know) are trying to adopt the metric system but it's a hard thing to change so it probably won't happen very fast. The metric system does have a few advantages over the english system for example it is based on the decimal system and it has been adopted by the scientific community.
Now will you all please shut the **** up and have a nap or something.

We are not really disputing that.. it was a topic a while ago but everyone agreed that it is 100% fine ... except that it would be nice if all countries used the same number system... but thats just a passing wish.

It's not pedantry, it's nit-picking.

One of you is using it as describing the efficiency of a system, where the other is using it as describing the moral or cultural value of a system.

Its not only with children that that can occur.. you are twisting my meaning by using a word game. Yes... using "not" several times in a row can add emphasis... but we both know thats not Not NOT(!) what I was talking about. ;)

Nah. Sel here was made to try out a different race for a few days, then I realized she was actually a very good character and there was no way I was going to lose three whole days of training time starting over back then! Hopefully I haven't ruined too many fantasies with this admission...
