HI, Chris,
You might try the 2 versions and try writing the very same identical
numbers 2 ways.
One way is to write the digits without a comma if larger than 999 and the
other way is to insert the comma. There are differences even then when
reading the exact identical number depending whether you insert a comma or
not.
also, try something else. Write the number and then write that same
number but add a decimal and 2 numbers after it. Three digit numbers
"before" the decimal" are read differently.
I am simply pointing this out and vastly prefer the way that 4.51 reads
numbers in general versus jAWS 5.0884.
