1.200 Sony employees saved with Helicopters in Tagajyo.
We just learned (via fotointern.ch) that the Tsunami hit the Sony factory in Tagajyo. All 1.200 Sony employees (+100 refugees) managed it to escape on the roof of the building. All people have been saved by Helicopters and nobody was injured.
Tagajyo currenlty produces Blue ray discs. Sony had to close seven factories (none of them is producing cameras or lenses).

Not everybody lives in USA, y’know.

2 years ago |The thousand separator is a function of the language, not the region. Since this site is in English, “1.200″ is incorrect.

2 years ago |Actually, not all English uses the dot for decimal separator. Europe uses the comma. And quite a few Asian countries too.

US tends to be the odd one out usually for measurements
That’s why they say Metric and US. US just happens to be the odd one out.

Look at the map in the Wikipedia article that you yourself posted, and you’ll see that all countries where English is the official or primary language, except South Africa to an extent, use a decimal point.
Canada is a perfect example of what I was trying to convey: English-speaking Canada uses a decimal point, whereas French-speaking Canada uses a decimal comma.

2 years ago |BTW, I didn’t express myself correctly in my original message–sorry about that. I was referring specifically to English; not all languages and regions.
Being from a Spanish-speaking country myself, I am well aware of the regional differences regarding decimal separators across different countries that speak the same language.
However, when it comes to English, you should use a decimal point whether you live in Spain, Hong Kong, or the U.S.

2 years ago |Ah makes sense. It is quite confusing sometimes because I’ve seen English text using decimal commas, and I’ve been thinking it’s more regional. Europe ever confuses me because I always associate it with English more than the America o.o

2 years ago |Sorry, to enforce it, thousand separator is function of the region, not the language.

2 years ago |No it isn’t. 1,200 is correct and I still think it was amusing.

Chester Lam
2 years ago |Yeah….1,200 people…and maybe 20 or so at most to a big chopper?
That’s a lot of helicopter flights.
Probably better than what FEMA could have done, though. 400 canoe trips?
