A lot of Europe does it, and it is wrong! It goes back quite a while to 
when it was fashionable to use a dot (.) as a symbol for multiplication. 
So Europe stopped using a dot to signal a decimal point to avoid 
confusion (they should have stopped stopped using a dot as a symbol for 
multiplication). In the U.S. and G.B. an X was used for multiplication 
symbol so they continued on using a dot for decimal (as it should be).

God help the United States though with its continual reliance on the 
Imperial system for measurement and it's crazy date/time setup.
