digit grouping:1,000,000,000,000 vs 1,0000,0000,0000

[Quest]

In the West, thousands separators are used to group numbers by 3 digits.

For example: 1,000,000,000,000 or 1.000.000.000.000

since we have thousand, million, billion, trillion

In Chinese, however, large numbers are counted by groups of ten thousands 万，亿，兆 which correspond to ten thousand, one hundred million, trillion. Logically speaking, separators should be placed at these units when writing out arabic numbers in Chinese.

For example: 1,0000,0000,0000 or 1.0000.0000.0000

But, most Chinese still use thousands separators in conformance with the international standard, which doesn't make a lot of sense in the Chinese counting system.

Do you think Chinese (arabic) numbers should be written according to the international standard or do you think they should be written in the 4-digit grouping system?

4 zero makes more sense...

I dont know why but its makes more sense.

But, most Chinese still use thousands separators

In my experience most Chinese tend to write larger numbers without using any separators at all! In a way it helps. I just mentally split it into groups of threes, while they split into fours and we come up with the same answer!
