South Korean media claimed on Monday that Seoul could send military and intelligence personnel to Ukraine after the North dispatched troops to support Russia in the war.
A report said the government and military of South Korea “are reviewing a plan to send an appropriate number of personnel, including intelligence officers [specialized in North Korea] and experts in enemy tactics,” to Ukraine, citing a South Korean intelligence official.
South Korean personnel in Ukraine would interrogate or provide interpretation services if North Korean soldiers were captured by Ukrainian forces, the report said. They would also provide Kyiv with information about the North’s military tactics, doctrine, and operations.
This dumb American is all for moving to the same units as the rest of the world. I would even agree to reordering the way we write dates. But not using a . where a comma belongs is a hill I will die on.
Depends on the conventions used in your country, there’s no real reason for using a comma instead of a dot, or vice versa.
In Italy this is a decimal number: 3,45 and this is a big number: 6’000’870
Every country has its own convention
The second one is fine. And even 3,45 isn’t terrible, unless there are three digits after the comma. Then it is just wrong… in my opinion of course
I’m obviously biased since I grew up with this “9,81” being a decimal, but in my head just thinking about it, it also makes sense. As you can see in these sentences, a comma is a break in a sentence, while a dot ends a sentence. Then again, math gets really messy when you have horizontal vectors with decimal numbers in-between, so maybe the dot is actually better idk. Eg: (2,3 , 4,5 , 3,7)
I didnt think about that. Because of programming stuff i mostly use a decimal dot, but still end up using the . as 1,000 partitioner too.
