Make a dot, and then a little tail trailing down from the right side. - jtaniel, Sep 8, 2017

Answer 1

Aha! I found the leprechaun.

SD will not permit numbers to be entered if a comma is used as a decimal separator. Likewise, it will not permit a period to be used as a thousands separator.

That's just weird. - jtaniel, Sep 8, 2017

It is probably related to the issues they are working hard to fix. - rac1, Sep 9, 2017

Rac, I think you're correct. I've never had this particular problem before now, and I'm sure that I've typed numerals. - DonBigoteDeLaLancha, Sep 9, 2017

Answer 2

The period may be omitted entirely in Spanish to separate the thousands, but it should be replaced with a space.

One difference between English and Spanish is the use of commas and periods in numbers. They are the opposite. The period may be omitted entirely in Spanish to separate the thousands, but it should be replaced with a space.

Note: for some reason I can't write any numbers in my answers. I get a message saying that there is an error in my message. I've been trying for at least ten minutes. I would have given examples

Weird!

Great point, Don. I am also having tons of problems with the site. Three of my answers suddenly vanished just before I was about to post them. Very aggrivating, as I work hard to try to get it right. - Echoline, Sep 8, 2017

I used to write my stuff in Word and then Copy/Paste because of this. I stopped because everything worked. I'm going back to my old habits. - DonBigoteDeLaLancha, Sep 8, 2017

At least you had a back up plan, Don. jejejejejejejejej - rac1, Sep 9, 2017
