When I browsed the star browser I recognized that many stars had their rotation period counted in days while other had it counted in thousands of hours. Isn?t that a bit inconsistent?

Is this a bug?

You'd need to give us a specific example of the problem.
Until then, is it possible you've seen "13.000 hours" and interpreted it as 13 thousand instead of 13 point zero?

Okey, It seems that you?re right. I misinterpreted the dot. The problem seems to be that the dot is interpreted different in different parts of the world. In some parts it is seemed as a comma. In others as a space between groups of hundeds.

Here where I live we don?t use dots at all. We use commas instead.
Example:

12,000 = Twelve points zero.
12 000 = Twelve thousand.

So again. My mistake. Sorry if I hold you awake!
