Hi guys,
Does anybody know how much kilometers per hour is 80 miles? Actually, one mile is 1.6 kilometers, so 80 mph = 128 kph. Sorry, YoHf, I misread your figure of 128,748 as 'one hundred and twenty eight thousand ...' It's because the English-language convention is to use a decimal point rather than a comma

YoHf, the comma needs to be a period: 128 kilometers.
EDIT: Oops, somehow, Clive, I didn't see your post.

I'm sorry guys. Here in Italy we use a comma instead of a ponit. 
How would you actually write the numb

YoHfI'm sorry guys. Here in Italy we use a comma instead of a point.Sorry, YoHf, I think I was advised of this earlier, and haven't yet retained the fact (because it seems so illogical when you think of a period representing a full stop in writing. Not that AmE has no oddities.)

Hi YoHf,
I'm stil curious about this:
How would you actually write the number 'one hundred and twenty-eight thousand, seven hundred'? Would you write it the same way?
In other words, when is a comma a comma, and when is it a decimal point, and how do you know the difference?
Please explain.

I'll speak for YoHf (if I may?), since it's the same system for me. Decimals are always preceded by a comma, but that's with numbers; a comma in texts is the same comma as yours, has the same value.
10, 50 cm is ten point fifty cm. / 10.000 miles is ten thousand miles
10, 50 cm is ten point fifty cm. / 10.000 miles is ten thousand miles

Hi,
How interesting. So, this is ten thousand 10.000 ? This is a million 1.000.000 ?
For 1.63, I'd say 'One point six three'. How would you translate what you say? I mean, do you say 'comma' or a word that sounds like or means 'point'?
