1,000.
1.000 would be a dollar with too many zeros behind it from my view.

All right. Then you use the period as decimal point, which I don't.carckin355 said:

happy meals at mcdonalds range anywhere from 1 dollar to 3 dollars. most mcdonalds meals range from 3 dollars to 5 dollars. a large milkshake costs between 2 dollars and 3 dollars. unless you're buying everyone happy meals, a meal, and a milkshake, and you have more than 4 kids and 2 adults, I dont know how you'd be able to spend anywhere near 60 dollars. Mcdonalds is the cheapest restaurant you can find, and they would go out of business if they charged 11 dollars a meal.
unless you're buying multiple meals per person, in which case its no longer a meal, its multiple meals.
but the point isnt the price of mcdonalds. my point is that for some reason, people seem to think that people should be happy to shell out 50, 60, 70 dollars for a game when they also have to balence buying said game against paying for essentials needed to live. 70 dollars is a lot of hours of work. Minimum wage in the UK is 6.30 pounds~ roughly. minimum wage in the states is 7.25 usd~ roughly. thats 10 to 11 hours of work to be able to afford a game. most people only work 40 hours a week.
That leaves only 29 hours where you're working for food and the essentials you need to live and pay your utilities and living expenses. roughly that comes out to 203 dollars a week, after you've bought your video game. that doesnt include groceries, utilities, and rental expenses you have to pay, including rent, which can range from 400 a dollars month at a cheap place to 1000 a month.
The point is, people cant afford to buy games all the time, and that when they do, its not just "oh i have this money in my pocket, lets do this, woo!" Its a calculated decision where you are literally spending hours of your hard work in order to pay for something you feel is worth one forth of your weekly paycheck, which you use to buy food and essentials for the week.
no. there is no "correct way". there are only ways that will lead to more or less understanding of what you're trying to say. since numbers are written with "." as a radix point and "," as a digit grouping symbol in english, using that convention will lead to good understanding of what you're trying to say. meanwhile, using "," as a radix point and "." as a digit grouping symbol will lead to poor understanding of what you're trying to say, because those conventions are never used in english. i am asking you why you want to minimize understanding of what you're trying to say, as that is counter to the purpose of writing

I use an SNES emulator because I'm not allowed to get second hand consoles from the internet, I use a GBA emulator to paly games that I can't get anymore and I use a DS emulator mainly to take screenshots of games I have but I might start using it on games I dont have soon since the DS is starting to go out.

I'm from Germany, so we use the same system like you do when we speak our native language.
That's the key word here: Language.
I use your system when I speak German, but I switch to 2257's when I speak English. The way you write numbers is part of the language you use, so if you speak a foreign language, you use their system. If you don't, you're not doing it the "correct way", you're just butchering the grammar. Simple as that.
You don't suddenly break out Dutch grammar when talking English either, right?

Grammar, something many people mistake when speaking another language.
Often I notice when a 15 year old Dutch person talks in English, they tend to use Dutch Grammar with English words, leading into even worse confusion than the one with the numbers.
I can sometimes understand what the person says, but many others won't, when a more international conversation starts.

...which is why you should strive to follow a language's grammar as closely as you can, to minimize confusion. This includes its numeral system.

What are you guys opinion on the possibility of more emulators even though nintendo is trying it's best to block their systems?

Emulators are good for playing older games.
