I really enjoy not being able to write a number down until the person is done speaking.

And who thought that using commas (,) instead of periods (.) for decimal numbers was a good idea? How am I supposed to open my bank statement in Excel?

Now look, I wouldn't dare to try and tell you to do as the Swedes, who seem to have figured out numbers before you. But perhaps you'll settle for collectively agreeing to copying the Norwegians instead?

Thank you for your consideration.

Edit: I originally tagged this as "humor" because it was a joke, but it seems people took this very seriously and even changed the flair to "discussion".

It was not my intention to offend the numerically disabled. I only think it would make more sense to say "tyvefem".

It's not just Excel - if I export my bank statements in CSV and open them in LibreOffice Calc (running on an English-locale Linux) I have to be damn careful with the export/import options I choose. (Meanwhile my wife was using LibreOffice on a Danish-language Windows machine and had to use different options.)

I think the problem is ultimately with the use of CSV, rather than some well-defined semantic markup, but that's a story for another day.
