A book costing 28,000.00 English Pounds would approximately cost $67,200.00 Canadian Dollars at an exchange rate of 2.40
Are you sure you don't mean 28.00 English Pounds which would be approximately $67.20 Canadian (at an exchange rate of 2.40).

Of course I mean 28 pounds (twentyeight), but it may sometimes be confusing, different traditions and cultural differences etc. Now I see how much differnce a . or , can
do.
Well me myself haven't yet used to your
way of marking dates with month first and then the day,
because we in Northern Europe do it otherway round.
So it goes.

I'm with Timo. I'm a Dane and I always go day/month/year.

On an unrelated note, I found out yesterday that a friend's birthday is 31/12/??. Cool day to have a birthday!

Using a comma instead of a decimal is a very European thing. 28 pounds would be written as 28,00 in most European countries, but as 28.00 in North America.
