jjoonathan:
Arguments about decimal notation are just a sign that the units aren't confusing enough. We need a multimeter that measures in Galvanis, defined as the amount of potential required to make a frog leg twitch.

That begs the question: where do you get your "frog leg standard reference" from?  :popcorn:

Don't make the mistake of assuming that your country is the centre of the world. Comma for the decimal point is not used everywhere, it's mostly european thing. Not in the biggest places where electroncis are developed, like the US, UK, Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Korea:

Well... without ASML (a European company) most of the electronics companies would produce nothing at all  >:D

And calling using 'gaps' a European writing style  :palm:  Using gaps is a very natural way to divide long numbers (or strings of numbers / letters) into groups which are easy to process. Adding gaps (spaces) is the first thing I do when I deal with a long string of text in order to make it more suitable for visual analysis.

See, it's working already! You don't need to worry about how to separate all of your significant digits if you don't have multiple significant digits.
