Buy an internet ad that tells people the damn dollar sign goes BEFORE the number.
Not in Europe. We put our currency behind the number and our decimal is a "," instead of a "."
Instead we divide thousands by empty spaces or "." (at least in Germany).
Interestingly, in europe this seems to vary by country!
I was just thinking that I wasn't sure which was correct, but it seems both are actually acceptable in Germany although after the number is preferred
Interesting. Didnt know nor expected a whole wikipedia article about that topic alone....
