EXACTLY!

We use it vice versa here in germany :-)

We use the comma as the decimal separator and the dot as a "thousand" 
separator!

e.g.
1.234.567,98

THAT will make it impossible to have an app that will handle both, 
english and german use...
Too bad! OK, we could have the user set this in the prefs, but still 
clumsy...

If only Rev would use the system settings for numbers (like other apps 
do ;-)
