Just about all string-to|from-float C functions (like strtod, scanf, atof, printf) and even the string-to|from-integer ones (strtol, scanf), are automatically influenced by the locale. The same is true for all tests like isspace() and isalpha(). It is intended to be helpful, but as a programmer I simply hate it.
