@lcamtuf I remember when I was growing up, the Soviet PDP-11 clone BK-0010 didn't have a dollar sign under the number 4, but instead had a "¤", which is the generic "Currency Sign" (U+00A4). So, maybe you're right. :)

@monsieuricon @lcamtuf nah, by writing the currency symbol in front of the number you already outed yourself as meaning US dollars.

@monsieuricon @lcamtuf Oh so you get the sensible date formats and the strange currency notation. Well, if that ain't a combination!

@funkylab @lcamtuf That's why we write the colour in-between white and black as "grEH," because it's neither "grAy for "American" nor "grEy" for "English."

@chowderman @monsieuricon @lcamtuf heh, you do realize that my response to @monsieuricon was very tongue-in-cheek, right? But still, thanks for the nice overview over the different currency formatting standards.
