Now this:
99.99
is called a decimal point.

There would never be a time when the dot in "99.99" would be called an octal point because the characters "8" and "9" do not exist in octal.

It could be a hexadecimal point though.

True. As well as a sexagecimal point.

The blank being the numeral writing system you are using.
Typically we use the decimal system, and so it's called a decimal point.
If we are using a different system, the name of the dot changes. For example, the number ten and a half in binary:
1010.1
that dot is called binary point in this context. Although if the context is decimal, then that number would be one thousand and ten point one, and it would be a decimal point.

> 45.02 goes both ways you are wrong good day
No it can go either way, but it can only be one.
In that context I was using the octal system.

Those numbers exist in decimal, I never said otherwise. However they also exist in octal, and in that instance I was using octal, not decimal- therefor it's an octal point.
Any number written in octal could be seen as a decimal number, but that doesn't mean octal points don't exist, now does it?

I'll give you that.

However it's either one for it like we're saying. It's not just one.

@previous (mew) > It's not just one.
It can only be one in any given context.
Seeing "45.01" one might assume it is a decimal point, but later find it was actually an octal point.

I don't care what you call it. It's still a decimal point. It has no context, so I draw my own. Fuck yours.
