I agree with everything you said.

The commas instead of decimals momentarily threw me off though.

Thanks!

That page has a graph.

Blue (.) seems to be preferred by most (not all) commonwealth nations.

There seems to be a lot more green (,) areas, but the 3 largest countries by population — China, India, and USA — are blue.

Somewhat surprised to see Mexico using dot instead of comma.

Commas instead of decimals in numbers is the standard in Europe

Not true for Ireland, Malta, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

In Austria at least we only use the comma for the fraction part of a number. So we would write ten million and 75 cents as:

10.000.000,75

F.e.

Yes I'm aware :)
