Em ingls usa-se o ponto para separar os decimais das unidades,
ao passo que em portugus se usa vrgula; p. ex.: 4.5 (four point five)
4,5 (quatro vrgula cinco). A vrgula, em ingls, usa-se para separar
os milhares das centenas, etc., onde, em portugus, usa-se o ponto; p.
ex.: (ingl.) 3,400 (port.) 3.400 (trs mil e quatrocentos).
