Re:Only 100$... Warning: -1, pedantic.

[renehollan]

btw, in America, the $ goes before the 100

Er, no.

In the United States of America, the dollar sign comes before the numeric amount.

In most parts of Canada (part of the North American continent, and thus America), the same is true.

In Quebec (by law), and possibly other predominantly French parts of Canada, the dollar sign comes after the numeric amount (the period is replaced with a comma, and the thousands separator is a space -- go figure).

So, please, do not say "fucking Canadians" (though, we do do that from time to time). Please say, "fucking Quebec government".
