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.
