And it makes auto completion useless. You type 'SU' and stare the screen "WTF?". Oh, this Excel is in PT-BR! 'SOMA'

And they even change conventions. "SUMIF" must be "SOMASE", right? Wrong, in PT there's a "." between words, so it's "SOMA.SE"...

Not only PT, that happens in most languages where the dot is not the decimal separator. It might have been the case in English as well if they used commas.
