This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Km100? Mb/s100? But $100 is suddenly ok? Americans clearly do it wrong.
And you say "100 Dollars" and not "Dollars 100", right?
Not like we're better though; germans say numbers wrong.
I didn't say it was ok; just the way we do it in Canada as well as the States. It absolutely makes no sense lol. I'm pretty sure a lot of growing up make the "mistake" of writing 100$.
In Europe they write 100,59€ and to me, that looks odd.
This is to be a language thing. In the US, Australia, Canada, and the UK, we write £20, $20, and €20 (and 50c, 50¢, 50p if using coinage). In Quebec, Canada, the currency symbol goes at the end, because French is the provincial language.
In English, 20$ is wrong. In French, $20 is wrong. Use the right system for your language.
