When the question states that the answer should be rounded to the nearest "thousandth"...(for example the number 87,219), I keep mistaking the number for 87("," = point)219 and not as 87("." = thousand)219 and thus keep rounding the last digit ("9") instead.

So my request would be to not use the comma where its not meant to be used, as it confuses people like me.

Thank you in advance and I wish u all at the KhanAcademy all the success u deserve.
