In the US, that . means it's a decimal point and you are giving the 1/10, 1/100, and 1/1000 place numbers. " I believe you were using it as we would a comma, so the numbers are minus ten thousand and minus one hundred thousand.

  • If the - wasn't intended to be a negative sign, delete "minus" but choose another symbol in the future.
  • Remember that capital letters (I, English) are an important part of correct writing.

In the US, that . means it's a decimal point and you are giving the 1/10, 1/100, and 1/1000 place numbers.

So it would be "minus ten point oh oh oh" or "ten point zero zero zero" and "minus one hundred point oh oh oh" or "minus one hundres point zero zero zero."

I believe you were using it as we would a comma, so the numbers are minus ten thousand and minus one hundred thousand.
