A similar issue, but perhaps not as bad, is the incorrect use of currency identifiers, like "SEK 100" ("$10"), or incorrect decimal symbols.
Another interesting case I've seen sometimes is when people are helpful and convert from imperial to metric units, but don't change the underlying value. Stuff like comparisons, "price per 28.3 grams" ("price per oz").
Units and locales are hard.

- hexo 7y agoWe have standardized 13.37 gram units here
