I do not say dollars one hundred. I say one hundred dollars.
Nearly every time I'm typing out something with money I end up backspacing because I've typed it out the way my internal monologue said it. (With $ after the amount)
The argument of "so we know if we are taking about dollars or something else" makes no sense to me.
Every other unit goes after. I don't write m100. I write 100m to show 100 meters. Same with every other unit notation that I can think of.
Why is the dollar sign before the amount?
Why is it backwards of the way it is said?
Why does it make me so irrationality angry that the dollar sign goes before the amount?
