Numbers and Their Description.

[bilbous]

Since it is talk about or in a video game everything should be converted to binary or hexadecimal neither of which have the comma-period dichotomy. I suppose Binary Coded Decimal would be suitable as well.

"five thousand three hundred and ninety seven tria total, that comes to twenty one circles, three octa, four hexa and seven tria"

it's not that hard to work it out

we all should use the words rather than the numbers, I am guilty of using numbers but I try not to.

People should also try to avoid using the lowest denomination of currency when selling stuff. In real life people don't say, this *item* is selling for 10,000 pence they say 100 pounds.

So PS equivalent might be:

*item* selling for 1,200 Octas! instead of 60,000 Tria!

Except that you can buy items for a few tria that would normally be a few USD/E.  Thus, a tria is much closer to a USD/E than it is to a pence.  Something 60,000 T would be like a new car...

we swiss do it a bit different than the rest of the world (as always . 2mio and 50 cents would be:
2'000'000.50

we use apostrophs to space the tousands, and dots for after coma values (which is kinda contradicting lol).

as for ingame, I try to avoid hitting 123 etc, if i need to say a value I'd rather say "a hundred thosuand" or "five thousand three hundred and ninety seven tria total, that comes to twenty one circles, three octa, four hexa and seven tria"

I'd be inclined to agree with this. I really don't like the use of k. If you must use it I suppose you could say "One hundred k."
