    Style note: The correct form is "un-American," not "unAmerican." When a prefix is attached to a capitalized word, a hyphen is required.

    I really don't get why the error message is phrased as an if-then statement. Does it accept decimals in some situations? If so, in which situations?

    Update: It apparently doesn't like any decimals at all, even though my time off is tracked to two decimal places and the error message implies that you can enter decimals.

    1. The proper format is not specified anywhere that I can see. 2. You can only enter numbers. 2a. You can also enter decimal points, which are not numbers. 3. There is a limit to the number of digits. 3a. This limit is not specified anywhere that I can see.
