Great answer saseflower :)

Wouldn't 3.5 be more like 7/2?

@Melody "how many sixths are in 3.5"

Is this some kind of area-specific writing? I always thought 3.5 refers to 35/10? Or did the user somehow clarify that he meant something else?

I don't want to criticize, I'm just confused!

You are right to criticize and I am sorry I confused you.
