OT, but:
> 200'000
Interesting. Why an apostrophe?
- valerij 7y agoi've picked up this kind of thousand separation at some point to make large numbers scannable. c.f. 1600000000 1'600'000'000 separating at 10³ is due to counting customs of the region i live in. using an apostrophe `U+0027` appears to be the least wrong use of possible glyphs accessible on my keyboard layout also c++14 does it this way
- jgtrosh 7y agoIt's common practice to use commas for this in anglophone countries, but it collisions with french decimal separator; so it's a reasonable choice.
