In terms of the character set used by most non-European countries there is no difference.

Some European countries use a comma as a decimal indicator and the full stop as a thousands separator. For example,

UK/US 1,234.56 would be written as 1.234,56

It is simply a case of using common punctuation symbols to indicate key positions in a number.

That is one reason that, if the last part of my sentence on this site is a number, I frequently do not end with a full stop.

Which shutter speed is not a full stop?

f/1, f/1.4, f/2, f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/8, f/11, f/16, f/22, f/32 are the usual full stops in aperture. You could have a full stop difference between two half or thirds as well.a full stop is when the light is halved or doubled between the two settings. so in shutter speeds if the time is close to doubled or halved its considered a stop so going from 1/30th to 1/60th would be a stop and the next nominal stop down would be 1/125th of a second.
