European decimal notation meets American decimal notation, and chaos ensues. The equation "1-0,9=0,01" looks mathematically sound to Europeans using commas as decimal separators, but utterly baffling to Americans reading it as "1 minus 0 comma 9 equals 0 comma 01."

Just another day in the international mathematics communication breakdown.
