Every country has a different way of delimiting large numbers. In USA, we put commas between every three digits. For example, one million would appear as 1,000,000. I believe this allows the reader to quickly deduce the magnitude of the number without tediously counting all the digits.
I have seen some prominent websites and apps forgo the delimiters, and thus they lose this benefit. The omission may or may not have been done on purpose. Are there any benefits for omitting delimeters? I would like to hear the standpoints of each side .
