Field Separator in Office Calc

["Bradford Young" <BYoung@zwjic.com>]

I hope this is the right place to ask this question.
I have used Excel a long time, and 1-2-3 before that, which means I
automatically hit the comma key when I am entering a function.  Office
Calc insists I use the semi-colon where I would use the comma.  Is this
a configurable feature?  If not, shouldn't it be so?  Millions of Excel
users will likely not convert because their fingers are so used to the
comma key.
