minus-squareTlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 年前I honestly like this usage better. It matches verbal useage (fourty dollars), and also matches other units (40kg, 40kph, 40cm, and so on).
minus-squarekabi@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 年前I agree and always write it like that at first, but it’s also true that for example fifty kilodollars (50k$) just looks better as $50k …although it might just be silly enough that it works…
minus-squareGoodEye8@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 年前Have you considered that it looks better because you’re used to seeing it that way? It’s the same with Fahrenheit vs Celsius, the one you’ve grown up with make more sense and is more pleasing to the eye.
