Maybe, but in running text I use \, all the time e.\,g. in
abbreviations or for numbers (10\,000). At least in German typography
these “spatiums” are necessary.
In French typography as well.
Indeed,
American: 10,000.00
French: 10\,000,00
(and other languages).
This is quite readable, and much preferred to the use of any kind of
macro that might format numbers according to language.
I find that students often need such helpers when deciphering many
digits.
Let's not forget all of these spaces commands are used in math mode.
Sure, and thet adaot to math mode. They will nto dissppear, it's just
that in macros I like more verbose names.
