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
It depends on the language. Here in Canada for example the sign goes in front if it's written in English, and behind when written in French. Also, I have only ever seen the euro sign be behind the value.
