its a period. NOT A COMA. Periods are used for decimals! --Pinkcoolcat 22:13, 26 February 2009 (UTC)Pinkcoolcat

Actually, it is supposed to be a comma. I always thought it was standard, but I guess this is just British English. "If someone writes the word colour, no one has the right to change it to color." And otherwise..

Really? Weird.... that could be quite confusing for you guys. I mean, what about this percent?

1,000,000,250%

Tell me, is that 1 million and 250 thousandths percent, or is it 1 billion, 2 hundred fifty percent? In this case, I think we should go for the version that is less confusing.

Actually, I think the comma version is actually more confusing, since i've never seen it used before. We are taught with it that way, and you are taught your way.

I said the comma version is more confusing. Where I come from, decimal points are periods, not commas. Commas are used for separating numerical periods (as in place values).

Well, everyone is different. Where I come from this, where I come from that..I hope my word version works. Considering you are supposed to write out numbers...

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WRITE OUT NUMBES WHERE YOU COME FROM????? Man, I pity you. Standard version is easier than word form. Plus, those percents had decimals. You got your math mixed up due to that comma.

Only when we are writing in english class and such. I mean, when you are writing, you dont write "On the maths worksheet, the equation 53+34 written as an example.". You would write, "On the maths worksheet, the equation 'Fifty Three plus Thirty Four' written as an example.". When we are doing normal arithmatic, we use the numbers.

Dudes...
Let me remind you that we should respect all versions of english, even if they sound more confusing to us. Dancing Penguin  http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/clubpenguin/images/6/6c/Smile_spin.gif (Talk!) 22:28, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Let me remind you that we don't want our readers to stumble or get confused. The commas are really ampersanded confusing.

In this case, quality counts over respect.

Cough cough. We have British users, and american users. You change all things to American English, even though I thought it said in Forum:English Language NO ONE, I repeat, NO ONE has the right to change "colour" to "Color". About the Centre, I thought it was just a mispelling, not the american spelling. If we are banning British English, I will One, Speak in Gaelic, or Two, Speak British English.

Wait. Since when do you control where my loyalties lie? Poor lad, doesnt know which side the bread is buttered on. I am for the commas, considering that's what I use..

Well, I must say that the commas are a no-no. They are so ampersanded confusing!!!! I can't tell where the decimals start, and where the millions and thousands are!

The same to me. And stop removing my messages!!

They are not dots, they're periods! And I cannot see how periods are confusing to you; they are used to tell where the tenths, hundredths, thousandths, and etcetera start! Commas are used for separating numerical place value periods! And I'm a geek! I should know this!

Besides, I THOUGHT WE WENT BY FORUM:ENGLISH LANGUAGE!! I dont see how you find commas confusing, honestly. I was taught that way, so it makes sese to me.

How can you tell where the decimals start, then? Explain.

 * It's the same way as "American", but we use a comma instead of a period. -- Triskelle3  ɹǝsol ɐ ɹnoʎ uǝɥʇ sıɥʇ pɐǝɹ uɐɔ noʎ ɟı  |undefined 22:57, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Then do you separate the numerical periods with periods? (1,000 would be written as 1.000)

 Yours "Falsely",   Explorer 767 ( This is your Co-Webmaster speaking! )    View this template  22:58, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * No, we would write it as "1000". -- Triskelle3  ɹǝsol ɐ ɹnoʎ uǝɥʇ sıɥʇ pɐǝɹ uɐɔ noʎ ɟı  |undefined 23:02, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I see where this is heading now:

1,000,000.34 = 1000000,34

Right? Ok, got it. Glad we cleared this up!

Hmm
Just wondering, isn't the content of this page OOC or compromised now due to Club Penguin City being totally rewritten by AJ into being a planned city rather than an actual city? I just figured I'd bring it up.  Wanna Talk?   17:38, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

OOC - Please coment
Uhhh, including my previous section from last year (look above) about Club Penguin City, I notice some things that are OOC now (even though they might not have been when written):


 * According to West Pengolia, it didn't exist as a region in 2000. However, certain things can be reworded to make it seem like they wanted to found Pengolia as the capital.
 * Darktonian Realm didn't exist until after 2008, since Darktan didn't become Darktan until 2009.
 * Club Penguin didn't exist yet. Therefore, all the times this page mentions Club Penguin City is "the mainland part of Club Penguin" are redundant.
