As has been pointed out on twitter, in the US we put the $ in front of numbers - $1000 not 1000$.
There are also tweets by David Lewis in Russian out there. Search the name on twitter.
Stop defending indefensible because of politics.
“As has been pointed out on twitter, in the US we put the $ in front of numbers - $1000 not 1000$.”
I think you are wrong here.
Two things.
1) the quotes that I posted here are from Doug Lewis, you describe a David Lewis
2) The quote from Doug Lewis on twitter is: “A family friend who lives in Alabama just told my wife that a WAPO reporter named Beth offered her 1000$ to accuse Roy Moore????” Here, if the offer was exactly $1000, then yes, the $ should be in front; but if the quote was for multiple thousands of dollars, then I might place the $ after 1000. Shorthand for plural 1000$.
