I used period as a thousands separator and was marked wrong

Question

Yet, as the lesson says, period may be less frequejntly used than space but it is also correct.

Accepted Answer

Hi David - we've found the offending question and we'll change it. Thanks for pointing that out!

Answer

Hi Linda,
You were marked wrong because decimal points are expressed by using  commas (virgules) in French , not periods or spaces.
Hope this helps!

Answer

Hi David,
Are you talking about a specific quiz?

Answer

Hi Cecile, Yesi it was a specific quiz. It is hard to find since I may have done 50 quizzes since then. The system does not make it easy to query about a specific question. If you start from the Report Issue button for the question you get a reply eventually saying that the person replying is not a French expert and you need to do it in the context of a lesson. If you ese Exlain first to get the lesson and click the Discuss button in a lesson you no longer have the question and answer that took you there.

Answer

I had this problem as well on the Micro Kwiz test: Writing decimal numbers in French.  I got marked wrong for choosing the space instead of a period.
