I know it is kind of beside the Topic, but some people are obviously a little too narrow-minded.
Green: 50,000 ( 42 Countries )
Blue: 50.000 ( 67 Countries )
Red: 50٫000 ( It is neither a , or a . if you look closely. it is called Momayyez )
So 67 "silly" countries do not write it like the UK, while the UK is the only Country in the EU, which does write it this way; 50,000. So by "elsewhere" in the EU you were correct, but a better term would have been "everywhere else" in the EU.
that map is bull... I live in one of those "blue" countries and no one uses "50.000".I know it is kind of beside the Topic, but some people are obviously a little too narrow-minded.

Sweden uses decimal points like we use comma's in numbers, and commas like we use decimal places. It was very confusing when i first got there. I assume by that map the rest of the countries in green do the same thing.. Considering this is a world wide game it shouldn't be unexpected that some people express numbers in different ways.
Need somethin' made?
I think you got the blue and green mixed up. But just out of curiosity, how do those people who write it as "50.000" denote decimals?Green: 50,000 ( 42 Countries )

North America 50,000.50
Spain 50.000,50

Scroll about midway, there's a chart with different cultures and how they represent decimals.
This map is factually dubious.I know it is kind of beside the Topic, but some people are obviously a little too narrow-minded.
