Why is the $ in front of the #

[AMDZen]

Seriously, do you read it as dollars 200? No, you read it as 200 dollars

So it should be written as 200$

Not $200

That is all

Why is the ? at the end of the sentence? Do you read the end first to determine the appropriate inflection to use?

 

[Jeeebus]

the last thread on $ vs. cent placement wasn't idiotic enough?

 

[tokie]

Because we aren't French?

 

[matas]

I agree

 

[Matthiasa]

Maybe we want to know what currency it is before reading the amount?

Questions always start with specific words though, so you will usually know its a question with the first word - and always before the end.

Punctuation simply signifies the end of that sentence.

I don't concern myself with trivial garbage like this.

 

[Newbian]

Sounds like the communist way to do it by adding it at the end...

You know that isn't correct, right?

However, up until right, that is read as a statement.

It is *English* ... one of the more difficult languages to learn and depends on what country's English you are using.

How many [two, to, too]s are in the English language for instance? Usually makes as much sense as inches (or US customary units) versus metric.

It was done for accounting purposes. You always want to know if you are dealing with a monetary entry or a quantity. So placing a $ first, easily ids the currency fields. It also can make sorting with a database program much easier.

You don't need "right" to know that is a question. The question is in the tone of the voice.
