Is using commas in version numbers instead of periods a Mac thing?
I'll just never understand.
No, it's the correct SI way do decimalise a number... Every country does it, apart from uk and USA etc..
:D
yeah... last time i checked, it's not used in the english speaking part of canada either... hell, i'm willing to bet most places that have english as their primary language don't do that...
It has nothing to do with the SI. Additionally, look it up, not that many countries use the comma for decimalization.
The comma is because that's how Open Firmware did it. This information is stored in the registry on a Mac, and that registry is stored in OF format (even though Macs don't use OF anymore). Furthermore, they aren't even decimalized, the comma is a list separator here.
wow, I actually got real answers, thanks! I was honestly kind of half expecting to be flamed. If commas areused to designate a decimal place in a large amount of other countries, my ignorance here makes me feel a bit like the typical arrogant USAer, though I'm not. I was half making a joke, but also half serious, cause I didn't know; the arrogant USAer probably would've said something like "ZOMGZ THERE NOT COMMAS!!" (notice the improper use of the word "there," a dead giveaway of an arrogant ignoramus)
So next, I have to ask, what is the SI? Also, "list separator" sounds like it could be used here in a similar way that a decimal would, like version 3, revision 1, am I right? Or no?
