If you turn on localization on your PC, it will use "," instead of "." (in MS Word, definitely) for decimal points though, but as I was saying, in practice (and in real life), "." seems to be the common standard still for the decimal point, it seems, even though officially it is not.
> Hungary uses a comma (",") as the decimal separator, not a period ("."). In Hungarian, a comma is used to separate the fractional part of a number from the whole part, while a period or space is used to group digits in thousands. For example, "one and a half" would be written as 1,5 in Hungarian.
Real life would beg to differ, however. My bank uses "." instead of ",", and I have had the same experience elsewhere, too. In IT, it has always been ".", too.
It is all over the place (pretty inconsistent), but I just checked my appointments to physiotherapy (printed on paper). The format is "YYYY.MM.DD", close enough. :D
From what I recall, I see this format a lot. That, and "%Y. %B|%b. %d". The latter may be the most common? I am not entirely sure. I do not mind these two formats. I have an issue with formats like 2025/05/09 and the like. Is it May, or September? It is ambiguous. Thankfully they are not common here, AFAIK.
