For me its verry nessesery. This is how I was learned in shool.
.9g and 0.9g looks verry different.
The same as 9.0g and 90g looks diferent or 120g and 12g.
0.9 is a concrete number, but for me not exist in mathematic something like
".9"

Ofcourse now I know that .9 mean 0.9gram. But puting this small "0" take
really that big ammount of time ?
I can understand that this is something like English must drive on left side
of road when everyone driving on right.
