Pretty sure any locale-aware OS treats comma different depending on what locale has been used, no? Anyway commas are historically used as seperators in numbers

Pretty sure any locale-aware OS treats comma different depending on what locale has been used, no? Anyway commas are historically used as seperators in numbers in some countries, and in text, etc, so if you really want to shed your blame all over something, maybe it shouldn't be Windows here but rather the people who came up with comma as a record seperator in the first place. Probably it was ok for them in that time, at that place (US I'm guessing) and for the usage needed back then, but I'd really wish they chose a different seperator.
