I’ll be honest: It’s complete insanity to use commas within a number. If you need laughably high precision, use spaces for readability. If you need a lot of zeros, use power notation.
There is no excuse for putting commas in a number. I rest my case.
Hard disagree. I work a lot with numbers, both hand-written and typed. I’ve yet to come across a situation where spaces are not sufficiently clear for readability. Using spaces for separation has never been an issue with letters, why would it be an issue with numbers?
