What was it like knowing a fraction of a person?

 They switch . and , in number notation in Europe.

 They switch . and , in numbers in Europe. Makes reading European medical docs feel weird.

...so they use commas for the decimal place, and for currency?

 And periods for the thousands place separator

I edited my comma above to include a link that explains it.

That, is super annoying.

They should stop doing that.

 Their reasoning was that in the 18th cen, no official notation was widely accepted, but the multiplication sign switched to • so they standardized comma decimal notation to avoid confusion.

 

The US didn't switch from × to • until much later so we got comfortable in our ways of using the period for decimals.

 

Tbh maybe we should switch, my handwriting is sloppy af and I have to recheck my multiplication dots and decimals points frequently.
