You are in bizarro world because in the real world, the dollar sign goes before the god damn number.

And the punctuation goes inside the god damn quotes. So sick of seeing that wrong all over the Internet. Read a book. Newspaper. Magazine. Something that has editors who know what they're doing. God damn.

Blame my mother tongue for that, in French the '' $ '' sign comes after the number, which make sense!

Also lol Guiga.

Well that's an excuse for you (and I apologize for my angry tone; it's been a bad day), but it says nothing for all these kids I see on facebook and the like who do it though they've right done anything close to speaking another language.

I can't believe you're complaining about that as opposed to a space before using a f***ing exclamation mark.

Because that's ten times worse. >_>

We put a space before an exclamation mark in French.

Yay excuses.

Is it a French thing to put a space between the last word of the sentence and an exclamation mark? I've noticed that you consistently do this, and it bugs me. But I've also seen it done by a guy on another forum who isn't a native English speaker (from Quebec, IIRC), so it might be more than just you being weird.

Honestly, it's the more consistent way to do things.

All other units come after the number. 8tsp, 12mi, 6m, 5s, 12h, 100lbs, 6kg, etc. Why should dollar signs be any different? Certainly money in games usually follows this format--it's usually written 100g for 100 gold, not g100.

Well it is kinda easy to miss at the same time, I myself had to check to made sure it really was that way.
