Thanks very much Jack, and no your initial message was clear so
I don't think anyone was offended. I still wonder what is the
general sitiuation and the trend in other countries though. In
our library we don't have any stats books in German, Spanish or
French so I cannot make any inference...
As regards French, you can take a look at Russell Davidson's
documentation for his program Ects, at
http://www.vcharite.univ-mrs.fr/ects/telechargement.php
I looked at "Volume 1" and Davidson mostly uses the decimal dot,
but at some points in the text he uses the comma (that is, what
Jack said about Italy). Not very satisfying for a perfectionist,
I guess ;-)
