[QUOTE=orcywoo6;37750580]They'll all just end up partying on the busses and when they get there... :v:[/QUOTE] Nah, this is for the people who want to get the fuck out of there.

In Groningen: *Cops notice busses full of people arriving* "Hey, what the hell is going on?" "They were having a huge party in our town and we couldn't handle it" "Oh ok. Wait what the fuck are we going to do with them" "No longer my problem lol bye good luck!"

[QUOTE=mobrockers2;37750519]Very funny. We can't help it the way you write numbers don't make any sense.[/QUOTE] I've honestly never seen somebody use a dot instead of a comma in a number. Dots are for decimals!

[QUOTE=ItsMozy;37750605]video[/QUOTE] wow lol defqon 1 in background i belive and a google streetview... well made

Someone on national radio is talking about fires, demolished cars and 15 thousand people.

[QUOTE=Bread_Baron;37750617]I've honestly never seen somebody use a dot instead of a comma in a number. Dots are for decimals![/QUOTE] I've never seen people use dots for decimals. Huh.

That's so not fake

[QUOTE=Riller;37750620]How is a poorly edited music video 'breaking'?[/QUOTE] It's a joke. :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=Riller;37750624]I've never seen people use dots for decimals. Huh.[/QUOTE] Really? It's all over the internet, it's like the imperial way of writing numbers or something.

The roads to Haren are filled with trafic now. 5 miles and growing fast, there are more and more people coming.

[QUOTE=mobrockers2;37750651]Ours: €500.000,- Yours: $500,000.- Which looks clearer.[/QUOTE] The bottom one. The top one ends in a comma, which is like ending a sentence with a comma, it just looks incomplete.

[QUOTE=mobrockers2;37750651]Ours: €500.000,- Yours: $500,000.- Which looks clearer.[/QUOTE] Comma for me

[QUOTE=mobrockers2;37750651]Ours: €500.000,- Yours: $500,000.- Which looks clearer.[/QUOTE] Commas indicate a break, dots indicate a stop.

[QUOTE=ItsMozy;37750643]The roads to Haren are filled with trafic now. 5 miles and growing fast, there are more and more people coming.[/QUOTE] This is perfect. Anyone mind linking something with live updates that I can see here in the UK?

[QUOTE=mobrockers2;37750651]Ours: €500.000,- Yours: $500,000.- Which looks clearer.[/QUOTE] Ours? ... As in the one with the comma first.

Dots or commas are for decimals. Apostrophes for thousands. No confusion possible.

15.000,25 looks better than 15,000.25.

[QUOTE=orcywoo6;37750681]This is perfect.

No idea where you can get this in english online. [editline]21st September 2012[/editline] Some people are getting seriously injured. People with headwounds, bleeding in the bushes.

[QUOTE=Riller;37750702]15.000,25 looks better than 15,000.25.[/QUOTE] Only because that's what you're used to. However, it doesn't make any sense logically when you think about it. Every other form of written syntax that I can think of uses commas for breaks and dots for stops.

[QUOTE=Wiggles;37750674]Commas indicate a break, dots indicate a stop.[/QUOTE] Exactly. The number isn't actually 500.000,00; it's 500000,00. Comma because it's a break, not a stop ;)

For you silly english ppls. [url]http://www.dejaap.nl/2012/09/21/live-fotoblog-project-x-in-haren/[/url] Photoblog. Easy for everybody to understand.

Every other form of written syntax that I can think of uses commas for breaks and dots for stops.[/QUOTE] The dots are only to make it easier to read, they aren't actually part of the number while the comma is. Ours makes more sense if you think in dots (in your case comma's) only guides, while the comma's (dots) are actually part of the number.

Every other form of written syntax that I can think of uses commas for breaks and dots for stops.[/QUOTE] Are we seriously debating , and .? Good job, Facepunch. In other news, a friend of mine is currently going to the hospital in Groningen since he got some glass stuck in his leg. I told him he was a retard for going there.

I was seriously considering if I should go. But this is getting way our of hand.

Every other form of written syntax that I can think of uses commas for breaks and dots for stops.[/QUOTE] The . is not used as a period here, just as a short spacer between digits to make them easier to count and keep track of, so you know how much you got. 50.000.000 is a lot easier on the eye than 50000000, and the comma comes in too big if you write it as 50,000,000, since the comma is a bigger character. However, the big character is useful when transitioning over to decimals, since it signifies a major change in the value and function of the numbers after it, whereas the small period just spaces it out a little. Hell, I've seen people write it 50 000 000 more often than 50,000,000.
