NOTE : when writing number in French ,the function of periods and commas is
               reversed from the english function.Commas are used in decimals and
              periods in numbers of four or more digits.Thus 1,000-one thousand
              becomes 1.000-mile in French and 1.5 is translated as 1.5-un virgule cinq.
