Is it only in English speaking languages that a decimal point is used to separate an integer number from a decimal number? e.g. pi = 3.14159265; $15.22
I see the comma is used elsewhere. e.g. 3,14159265; $15,22
It's not only in English speaking countries. They use a dot for a decimal point in Japan.
