How would you prefer for large numbers to be formatted in a terminal?

Also curious about the accessibility of terminals. For people that are blind, how is 123_456_789 and 123,456,789 handled? Some have suggested space separators but that feels far worse since they were be treated as separate words. Anybody know?

@marcysutton @ryanflorence Do either of you know of any guides on terminal accessibility?

Not familiar with any, but I mean ... either localize (`$ locale` will tell you) or pick the format of most your users, but making up something new seems like the wrong way to go.

If I'm going to use the format of most of my users (AKA the entire world) then I'm not going to use commas.https://twitter.com/sebmck/status/1109180775583240192 …

Don't know of any guides but I can tell you that in most screen readers commas will create large numbers, while the underscores separate groups of numbers. e.g. "One hundred twenty three million, four hundred fifty six thousand..." vs. "one hundred twenty three underscore..."
