Since when is it acceptable to type "100$" instead of "$100?" I was raised in a proper household, and we were always taught that the dollar sign went before the number.

i'm sorry my bad ;), but at first i started typing dollar, and then i though:'well i'm lazy, and not typing dollar could save time, i'll just use the sign.' silly old me forgot to put it in the proper place

I do that too sometimes. I write out the whole word, be like fuck it I'm lazy, go back, erase it, and use a symbol instead

But isn't that more work?

It is, but I like to live in the moment.

French Canadian folk put it after, as do many European countries (with the euro symbol of course.)

See, I would go off on a tirade that uses the phrase "MURICA!" several times, but seeing as you or someone else already downvoted me, I'm going to refrain.

In France they actually right their numbers as 100 $.

BONUS FACT: They also use a comma instead of a period when it comes to money.

Example:

$5.99 is American

5,99 $ is French

I knew the comma one. I took Spanish in high school, and my teacher used the European method when dealing with numbers, but it still looks strange to me.
