While working to sell our machines worldwide, we run across the typical
differences in the way things are done or described. For instance:

Language differences - but that is obvious.

The common practice in some cultures of making every last sale a negotiation
for a lower price. In other words, you quote a price, they ask what can be
done to lower it or they offer a lower price and this goes on until the deal
is sealed with a purchase order... Then it sometimes continues behind the
scenes until the shipping of the units actually takes place...

Metric VS inch measurements is a very common difference. Translation is
easy once you do it for a while...

1,500" VS 1.500" - comma used rather than period to separate digits in a
decimal accurate number, etc.

Minor and seems to be disappearing - Telephone numbers as 908.542.0244
rather than 908-542-0244 or (908) 542-0244, etc...

What other major or minor differences do you run across?
