Why in some countries there is a comma separator and in some dot? Do you know what is the reason of that? It’s very annoying to check every time if you should use this or this.

I would suggest reading the Wikipedia entry on the history of the decimal separator. Basically, it boils down to different choices made when typesetting what was previously written by hand.
