  I assume you meant 3,400. No, I've never seen
anyone write anything like 3,4 for 3,400. It's not
feasible as far as I can tell. There's no way to
deduce the number of zeros that follow. But VBS
doesn't seem to be doing that. From my tests it
seems to only have a bug where , and . are
concerned. Like your tests, my tests with 3,4
show WSH dropping the comma rather than
interpreting it.
