Hi,
can someone explain to me why the uk/us custom is to write numbers as .5 instead of 0.5?
I would think that the decimal point in such notation is quite easy to miss, so a quick glance could mistake if for a 5.
So is it beacause people were just lazy to add a redundant zero infront of the point, or is there some other thing that I am not aware of?
