LOL

The international ISO standaard is actually a dot as a thousand seperator and a comma as a dicimal seperator.
The Brittish changed that and put their 'standard' in the British empire and colonies. (US, India, HongKong, Australia, Africal colonies...) that is why its only used there.

Most countries that are using Miles instead of Kilometers are also using the British standard.
