    Just a comment on the reference to pilots' use of the decimal point. They actually use the word "decimal" in their transmissions. For example the Coventry Control Tower is on one-one-nine-decimal-two-five. Of course, English is the official airspace language, but it does avoid the other differences between use of points or commas.
