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.

What if you used an environment variable like LANG or LC_CTYPE to localize the terminal output?
