I’ve always used a point on top of the numbers to avoid confusion, i.e. 1`000`000,00

The map is wrong in that regard anyway, because quite a lot of languages/countries actually use a space or half-space as a thousand separator.

The map doesn’t mention a thousand separator…

But it shows areas and how numbers are suposedly formatted in those areas and those numbers have thousand separators.

Especially pointing at Russia… They couldn’t even look at the Examples section of the Wikipedia article they obviously used.

i just use an apostrophe, why make things complicated? 1’000’000.00 should be unambigous to almost everyone, provided they can rub some braincells together.

You’d think so, but I’ve seen people do 1.350’78. in their mind, it’s to avoid confusion too.
