It is largely a matter of (local) mathematical convention. In USA, the
decimal point is mostly put on the baseline, as in 3.14, but in England it
is put in the middle as $3 \cdot 14$. In some other European countries
such as France, they use a comma instead of a dot as in 3,14. In our own
country, I think we ususally follow the US way.

\lim is already defined as a mathoperator, so that you can give limits to
it directly. (See the modified code)

I think the whole code is slightly overdone. Please have a look at the
modified code below:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
