>only Americans do this
Russia education. It's because you immediately know the number you're reading is currency

Doesn't everyone do this?

Germans put the Euro symbol after the amount.

No idea, but I actually agree with you that it’s dumb. It's happened to me a few times when I’m writing fast where I briefly forget to put $ in front of ### when since in my head I’m phonetically thinking “150 Dollars”, and I have to stop to go back and add it.

no, only anglos put the symbol first.
it's the same with the date, everyone says 24th of october for exmpale, anglos say october 24th

>only anglos put the symbol first.
We aren't anglos, we put the symbol first.

you are swamp anglos

dutch are the most anglo of the non anglo countries though.

Well, that is disgusting mister.

We say the date both ways, it doesn't really matter. Americans only write it with the month first though

The Dutch are the most Anglo non-Anglos.

japs usually write prices as ___円

The Anglo's are Dutchified.

says the frog

Only burgers go October 24th
Today for humans it is 22/01/2018
For m*tts it is 01/22/2018

Bullshit. Here in Brazil we put the symbol first.

Example: R$180

I can forgive continentals for putting the currency the wrong way round

What I CANNOT forgive is writing numbers like 10.000,25 instead of 10,000.25

>>Today for humans it is 22/01/2018
You mean 2018.01.22

this but unironically

Why rmdont you make your own funny little symbols for reals? A cool R or something

here it's 10000,25

why do e*ropeans manage to get literally everything wrong
baffling

this too but unironically

If everybody else is wrong, maybe YOU are wrong.

What a mess

>using point for decimal

You are honorary anglos.

But everybody else put the sign of the currency after the number, which is the rational way to read it btw.

>The Anglo's are Dutchified.
this but unironically

>Not 10 000,25
Lmao plebs

t. catholic church

United Kingdom is a part of Europe too

currency goes behind the number like for everything else

10$
10€
10C (degrees celsius)
10KM

>10,000.25

pls kill yourself

>Use the retarded short scale
>Write numbers in a retarded way

Anglos, ladies and gentlemen.

Same here

No it isn't, this way you know you're talking about a currency straight away. Just how the superior Spanish use ¿ and stuff at the start of a question, you just got dunked on

Even worse than the Portugese, how do you know when the number ends

ANGLOS ARE THE MOST POWERFUL RACE IN THE WORLD

>why is written language illogical

Wrong the last two my friend. In SI you have to leave a space between units with dimension, it should be
10 °C
10 km
the space stands for a multiplication symbol, since you multiply a unit (dimension) x times.

based France using proper connotation

This. It's an anglo world, never forget it

>It's because you immediately know the number you're reading is currency
So this is the reason you also say °F 50 and mi 100 too?

I am ready to kill everyone who write dates in ways different from 22.01.2018 or 22.01.18

I am powerful magician and enchanted this image so only people free from a*glo filth can see it
Do you like it?

this is the best way: i'm a convert from 22/01/2018.

wrong: americans would write January 22, and say "jenyiree twinny tew"

You cannot trick me, the mighty anglo intellect soars above your feeble ideas

This

>How many shirts do you have?
>I have shirts 5
>I say shirts first because this way you can know I'm talking about shirts straight away

Anglos, ladies and gentlemen.

*without the 'th'
youre right otherwise

no you fucking dingus it's

>jan-U-rary twenty two
stop making fake news

Shirts, 5 makes sense in English, don't get mad cause Spanish is inflexible

I'll see myself out.

Those are the only acceptable ways.

Because you're reading it the wrong way. 0 units, 5 tens, 1 hundred dollars

I don't get why Americans make such a big deal out of the 9th of November.

*ISO 8601s your euro arse*

We do $10 as well.

Americans fuck off, we used the $ symbol first.

Ten dollars.
Ten metres.
10 $.
10 m.
18.1.22

Out of 360 locales known to Unicode
217 put currency in front
142 at end
And theres apparently some special snowflake that puts it somewhere in the middle.

Out of 217 that start with it 98 are variations of English locales though.

Russians always have the best stats wew

>How do you know when the number ends
At the last digit you spastic

>theres apparently some special snowflake that puts it somewhere in the middle
lets be honest, this is the best way, I hope we will start putting it in between too

>Out of 217 that start with it 98 are variations of English locales though.
the anglo always wins >: 3

£150

That snowflake is actually Persian (fa) which is used in Iran.
But it looks like discrepancy in CLDR data, they have currency in the front.

Is this why eternal anglo taught Indians to write them like that?
>1,00,00,000?

What's weird is that when we are using cents we put the ¢ symbol after the number

We say F150 because we're not soyboys

YYYY-MM-DD is superior to your 3rd world date system, you mong

I have always considered the Dutch to be de facto Anglos

>1rd world date system
>measuring dick size in fahrenheit
>really superior

Based Poland.

Spain, France, Poland and Germany confirmed to know how to use units/dates properly, anyone else want to join the club?

>having a 4rd world country
>thinking you have any standing to talk to me as an equal
wew

Don't reply to me ever again until you fully comprehend my superiority.

56%

you are not going to like it but
because it's not counting, when it is used like $14 it denotes a price (obviously) a singular value which represents a description of an object. when it is written like 150 dollars it means someone is counting their money.

Is that how much of your country will be Muslim by 2030?

We write it like this: 150,-

percent of white population in the us
