Major Mistake So yesterday I went to move money around my US bank accounts. I forgot that the decimal key on my German keyboard inserts a “,” and not a “.” when pressed.
I was a bit surprised when it suddenly appeared that I wanted to move $85,000 instead of $850.00. I’d typed 85,00 and the bank made its own interpretation.

TQE : That Queer Expatriate I'm an American living in Berlin, Germany -- which makes me an expatriate, not an ex-patriot. Before landing in Germany, I've lived in Denver, Colorado; Laramie, Wyoming; Bloomington, Indiana; and Weimar, Germany. If you want to write to me, feel free! The username is elmadaeu on the gmail.com service.
