@matrix @matrix why do so many people put the dollar sign on the wrong side of the number?

The education system has failed us

@sjw @matrix
That's how it's done in some European nations.

@alyx @matrix @alyx @matrix it has nothing to do with the country. It's about the language. In English, the currency symbol goes before the number (unless the symbol denotes a fraction). I explained it better here with examples:

This meme is in English. Therefore the dollar sign at the end of the number is incorrect.

@sjw @matrix
The meme might be in English, but it doesn't mean it was made by a native English speaker. It could have been made by someone that is not fluent enough to understand how currency symbols work in English. So they'll just default to the style native to their own country.
