I feel like this is like a fashion thing. A decade ago I rarely if ever saw anyone written dollar sign after numbers. Now it's every where.

I was taught with writing the $ before the number and now seeing it after would make me stop on my track of reading to think about it for a second. Because generally $ before the number indicates monetary value, and any sign after it would be other type. For example, 1 lbs, 1 kg, 1m, 1km, etc.

It's easier for me to process $1m as 1 million dollars than 1m$.

Sigh. I guess I'll join the movement.

$100.00 is the only correct nomenclature. This is America (for those in America; as for the rest, well, it sucks to be you) and in America we put the dollar before all else.

AD comes before the year. BC comes after the year.

Sometimes I remember to put the $ before the number, but I usually say what I am trying to type in my head before I type it, and when spoken the $ comes after the number.

I have twelve dollars.
I have 12$.

AD comes before the year. BC comes after the year.

It makes sense though. The year AD 1493 came after Jesus while the year 16000 BC (which never existed) came before Christ

Fountain drinks only .50 cents!

Why do they call it a drinking fountain when all it does is spit out water?
