The Use of Commas and Periods in Numbers in Denmark

In Denmark, as in other European countries, the use of commas and periods in numbers is exactly reversed from their use in the US.

So, you see numbers that look like this:

€333.333,33

rather than

$333,333.33

Its a small change but boy does it induce "cognitive load"!

I constantly have to look at numbers twice and consciously change commas to periods and vice versa. And after you do that a number of times in one day, you just feel tired!
