I understand the joke and I agree with the sentiment, but it drives me fucking insane when people put the dollar symbol after the dollar amount.

IMO it is the right way to do it (I know it isn’t in the US) You already do it for measurement symbols so why is it before when money is involved

It depends on the language. Here in Canada for example the sign goes in front if it’s written in English, and behind when written in French. Also, I have only ever seen the euro sign be behind the value.

Do you say “it costs five dollars” or “it costs dollar five”? Write as you speak, please.

Do you write 4$ and 50¢?

Or do you write $4.50

And if you write $4.50 do you say “dollars four period fifty”?

That’s not nearly the justification that you think it is.

I write 5 zł (5 zlotys, 5 PLN) or 5€ (5 euros, 5 EUR) because in Europe we don’t unnecesarily invert the currency symbol compared to what we speak. The following system, which I found on Wikipedia, would make the most sense:

Exceptionally, the symbol for the Cape Verdean escudo (like the Portuguese escudo, to which it was formerly pegged) is placed in the decimal separator position, as in 250.

That’d be perfectly consistent with what we speak and solve the problem of fractional currency notation as well.

Do you write 4$ or $4 if you don’t have cents? I really don’t know how you do it in US

How is that different than regular earth. You’re born on one continent where you don’t have to pay but you gotta pay lots of money to go to another one.

There’s literally passports that are more valuable because they open you up to more of Europe. And some passports that limit you to only a few countries.

So yeah, better travelling is literally region locked demos and moving somewhere better is pretty expensive DLC.
