However, I see people using 20$ in the sales thread repeatedly, it's likely they're being influenced by a few different things: Many other countries (and the Canadian province of Quebec) put the currency symbol after the amount In spoken English the word dollars follows the amount, e.g. twenty dollars The sign for cents is placed after the amount: 25¢ Because of these inconsistencies, writing 20$ is a very common mistake. Now stop making it! I am from Quebec and writing from there right now. So when I write 20$, it is correct. Cheers ThothAmon and Namtak 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a heads up, I will not buy an expensive comic from someone who writes "lets make a sell!" Butchering basic English does not instil confidence. My theory is that's a regional thing.
