I’m a bit lost here. Should I use british conventions? US conventions? Is there indian conventions? Or maybe cultural points I should be aware of?
Google is confusing me more than it is helping me?
Thanks.
India starts getting odd with large amounts though which is why I linked to the Wiki, I can’t wrap my brain around how it works.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_numbering_system
“The terms lakh or 1,00,000 (one hundred thousand, written as 100,000 outside the Indian subcontinent) and crore or 1,00,00,000[1] (ten million, written as 10,000,000 outside the subcontinent) are the most commonly used terms in Indian English to express large numbers in the system.”
Soo…
"lakh: 150,000 rupees in India is referred to as “1.5 lakh rupees”, which is written as 1,50,000 rupees;
crore: 30,000,000 (thirty million) rupees is referred to as “3 crore rupees”, which is written as 3,00,00,000 rupees with commas at the thousand, lakh, and crore places."
I guess if you grew up with it, it makes perfect sense.
