Comment 4 for bug 1279558

A sort of citation is wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator
In Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Romania, Sweden and much of Europe: 1 234
567,89 or 1.234.567,89 (in handwriting, 1˙234˙567,89 is also seen[citation
needed], but never in Denmark or Sweden).

Notice that at primary school, my math teacher used ˙ (COMBINIG DOT ABOVE),
while during the following courses nothing was used (just because the thousands
separator is not mandatory, I imagine). I've also seen the space and the full
stop used.

I'm trying to find this in online newspapers, but they seem to prefer using the
word "thousands" instead of the full number
