number format/parsing... (duplicate)

[eraser <era...@ya...>]

hi,

(sorry for the duplicate email..)

there's something I don't understand with the number
patterns...

  0:  a digit, showing up a zero if it is zero
  #:  a digit, supressed if zero

So for '#' the digit is suppressed if zero. So here's
what I dont'get: why does the pattern for english is
#,##0.### ???

Following that, "one thousand" would be 1,0.
Am I wrong? I guess, since the demo shows 1,000. why
is that??

Shouldn't it be #,000.### ???



thanks a lot


Jeff.
