Is there a country that uses a different thousands separator based on unit?
Yes, in a lot of places a period is used for order-of-magnitude separation and comma is used for decimal places.
In this title the use seems inconsistent.
Either the rock weighs exactly 500kg to an impressive precision and has been there for eleven thousand years or it weighs five hundred thousand kg and has been there for exactly 11 years.
Right, i think he’s asking if there’s some culture where the inconsistency is designed based on unit. So, for example, period for years, comma for weight.
I think it’s simply an error. Maybe AI generated?
It’s got something for everyone.
I don’t care how long it been balancing there I wouldn’t dare stand that close to it, be just my luck it pick that moment to shrift.
Finland uses space for thousands (and comma for decimals), so an article in Finnish would have 500 000 kg
