When you're saying it out loud either is okay. But DD/MM/YYYY makes the most sense because you're going from smallest to largest.

You might as well ask, why do people insist on saying "how __ looks like" instead of "how __ looks" or "what __ looks like"?

Because it's a unit, like Km or °C. However, currencies come before the value (e.g. USD 60) as it defines the monetary value of the 1/2

numerical value it precedes. 2/2

While wrong, it makes more sense. It is ten dollars, not dollar ten. We write 10% for ten percent, 10* for ten degrees.

Because pronunciation. When it's spoken, 'dollars' comes after the number, so one can infer that people do it this way for that reason.

Pronunciation? Isn't that syntax or summit? Dunno, haven't been to grammar school, nazi or otherwise.

But it is wrong and if you have more than a 3rd grade education you'd know it is wrong.

I'm not saying it's the correct way, I'm just saying why it might occur.

this time of year lots of Canadians in my town (snow birds) and I have yet to see any write it that way. Going to test this out!

Same here in Finland and I bet other European countries. The currency sign goes after the numbers.

They absolutely do not do that in Canada! At least, not any educated Canadians.

It might be "wrong", but at least it makes total sense with how we say it. I'd like to know who decided we should put it in front.

Should I start spelling cat, "kat"? That also makes total sense with how we say it. I'd like to know who decided we should spell it cat.

He's right though. More importantly, your example is retarded. "Cat" makes sense with a C. Putting the dollar sign in front doesn't.

My point was that WRONG is WRONG, even if "it makes sense". Bad spelling & grammar is how the world knows if you're an idiot or not.

The person who decided to put the sign in front was wrong, but had influence. Simple as that. Anyway, just my cents two.

They write it how you say it. You say "I paid 5 dollars for it" not "I paid dollars 5 for it" also other countries have the currency last
