    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".

    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.

    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?

    With commas, like "50,001".

    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.
