For many a year I have customized my computer number format to using a decimal point with a space as a thousand separator.
For hours and minutes I prefer the format ‘18h30’ though I cannot persuade my computer to use this form. Revolutionary France supposedly had decimal time at some point. Does anybody know more about this or how long it lasted? Millidays have a certain je ne sais quoi!
For the record, South Africa officially used the date format yyyy-mm-dd but most people wrote dd-mm-yyyy. The decimal comma was also official though Bill Gates had thankfully made this less common due to computers demanding decimal points on entry.
