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

      Benefit of _ is that it's more i18n friendly. Some countries use commas for decimals. It's also more visually distinguishable in a terminal since commas looks odd at fixed-width. I'm leaning more obviously towards _ but curious if there's any alternatives or counter examples.

      I should have lead the poll with this tweet. I feel like some people would change their responses. The poll probably isn't very constructive since a majority of my followers would be English speakers who use commas.

      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.

      I agree with this. I understand the issue with commas not being universal but 123_456_789 isn't a format used anywhere. Localization seems like the best approach.

      > 123_456_789 isn't a format used anywhere What do you mean? Most programming languages (including soon JavaScript) support _ as a separator when writing numbers.

          Ah, I didn't know that. My mistake. I've just never seen underscores used before in place of spaces or commas.
