Armor multiplier

[Juan_Arquero]

It is less common, but still widely accepted to use a comma instead of a decimal point. It means '1.4' in that case.

Blunt: Since you're Canadian, or at least live in Toronto, you're accustomed to the system used in the English-speaking parts of the world (i.e. mostly UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand) where 1.4 is common usage. However, 1,4 is common usage in the rest of the world (or at least most of it). For example, my family is from Argentina and Uruguay where 1,4 is considered normal, so when I talk in Spanish with an Argentine or Uruguayan who has immigrated to the USA, I sometimes have to ask which system they're using, as they might say 1.4 in English, but 1,4 in Spanish. Are you thoroughly confused yet?:wacko:

By the way, Blunt, which system do French-Canadians use, especially in Quebec? Also, I'm not sure which system Asians may use, as they may not use Arabic numerals. However, I know that there is at least one Chinese server running 4.84, but I don't think their current server description lists the number and I can't remember if previous versions listed 4.83 or 4,83.

So then how do they know which one it is?

4,403 could be either

four-thousand, four hundred, and 3
or four point four zero three...

Ghost Cat: You have to make an educated guess based on the writer's location/culture and usage in context. 1,4 obviously means 1.4 in the English version and was written by a non-native English speaker (Igiss). Context is important. For example, if the reference is to the population of a town, it obviously means four-thousand, four hundred and three.

If you want to be further confused keep in mind that one billion in the USA = 1,000 X 1,000,000 (one million), but one billion in the UK = 1,000,000 X 1,000,000.:crazy:

Has Ghost Cat's head exploded yet?:P
