      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.

      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 …

      Here is a map of countries and what decimal separator they use. The countries in light green (Russia), all use a comma. eg. "$1,25". How can anyone say that choosing commas is the right approach when they're used completely different in most of the world? pic.twitter.com/GVrnCUhT0s

          haha, dude, I'm not trying to be hostile. I'm just saying screen readers aren't gonna know what the heck to do with _, but it's likely they'll deal with , pretty well. The real answer though, if you really want to solve this, is to not pick a format and localize instead.

          Sorry, my wording wasn't meant to be harsh. Thanks for your thoughts on this. Detecting locale and doing my own thing doesn't seem ideal. I don't want to maintain a database, and there's issues even with even how Node handles locale detection.https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/27428 …

          Would it be possible to color code that same map by population density? You make a great point by region, but I'm curious what percentage of adoption the "$1,25" has from the standpoint of populous?
