I agree, which is why it should use the default OS thousands separator, as I just mentioned. Makes perfect sense and stops any arguing.

But having TWO new functions returning the TWO separators to be used HERE with this function to specify the defaults from the OS, and usable anywhere else too would be a lot better.

You could also use them to write a better function than this trivial one by yourself.
