Am I missing something or is the author using dots for both breaking up large numbers and also for decimal points?

Yes, I assume it is because you use dots to seperate large numbers in most European languages and they forgot it's different in English.

usually its a combination of . , not exclusively . for both the thousands seperator and the radix point.

Well, they appear to have remembered it when typing the radix point, but forgot it when it came to the thousands separator.

This might have happened to me before as well...
