    Commas can be crucial

    In many countries commas are used as decimal separator. In this case it is really a bad idea to just delete the comma, as it can be crucial to understand what the participant meant.

    For example: How much money (in Euros) would you spend for item X?
    Participant A: "15" saved as 15
    Participant B: "1,50" saved as 150

    I will copy this to the suggestions area so we can allow for this to be an option in the next version.
