Me and my 5.000 closest friends don't like that the website and their 1.300 partners all need my data.
Why so many sig figs for 5 and 1.3 though?
Some parts of the world (mostly Europe, I think) use dots instead of commas for displaying thousands. For example, 5.000 is 5,000 and 1.300 is 1,300
Yes. It's the normal Thousands-separator notation in Germany for example.
