Base Game that has almost no content : $60

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

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.
