Will you press the button? You will recieve 15,000€ but The world's worst mathematician will also recieve the same amount. A image of doctor robotnik from the sonic movie pressing a button captioned "Me realizing I can get 500,000€"

I get using a comma as a radix, sure. It makes grammatical sense, like saying "two, and three tenths", just a little pause between concepts.

But how does it make any sense anywhere to use a full-stop for grouping digits?! "1.000.000.000.000" looks ludicrous, not to mention we can't even agree on whether thats a billion or a million!
