Default improve help samples in excel 2003

Mac

Not on my machine (International English)

=TEXT(Value,Format_Text)

works fine.

Didn't know that regional settings affected formulas? Anyone?

Excel in Office 2003
All the samples in Excel help are wrong

example : TEXT(value,format_text) that does not work !

should be: TEXT(value;format_text)

this happens through all help examples,
could somebody tell me who got fired for such mistakes?
