Listen do you say Dollars 300 ($300) or do you say 300 Dollars (300$)?

I rest my case lol

I'll give you my on this: I like the dollar sign before the number. When I say "3 dollars" I see it as "$3" not "3$" and I don't see it as "dollars 3" unless I'm telling a riddle.

Just like with American date structure: I'll say July 26, 2026 and will see it as 07/26/2026.

(But when I put a date in files I go for YYYY/MM/DD format)

(Whoever created these systems had a funny sense of synergy lol)
