I haven't seen many episodes, but I don't think I am like Sheldon even a little bit.

Yeah that show is the worst. I don't know which one is Sheldon but they're all social marsupials.

Okay now I'm on a roll with things I don't get. Here's another one: why are lots of people (including people here on SF) putting the dollar sign after the number? It's hard to understand the mistake because anyone who shops must see it done correctly all the time.

Another plus 1 from me - I've also been told that I 'must' love that show, and just find it irritating. I do now some rather brilliant people who love it, however, but they tend to be fairly well adjusted brilliant people.

i suspect this is foreigners. all the foreign currencies get displayed with the sign after the number, not before.


Buncha bullshit y'ask me. Sign should go before straight up.

I wonder why we put the dollar sign first. We say "dollars" after we give the amount.

I've just noticed that ebay.de and amazon.de write "EUR 123,00" too.
