    But commas and dots don’t form part of the metric system?

    Ihr könnt gerne umwechseln wenn ihr wollt :3

    My main argument for the English/Chinese/Indian system (I have no idea where this system originated), is that in many languages (including German), commas function as pauses and full stops (period, by the Americans) as a stronger separator between thoughts, so it makes more sense to seperate digits with commas (in my opinion)

    It’s all ultimately arbitrary, and I don’t really care which we pick.
