I wrote that so Freepers would know how much in dollars. What is your format?
As an editor, the correct format in the US for listing dollars is $ or US$ or USD. Any other format is not of US origin and and obvious tail of someone not from the US, not educated in the US, or American English is second language. But, then again, our education system is so fallen, too many foreign teachers, and all that we’re lossing American English, etc.
