Can we just stop with the $$$ for rates and use real numbers???!!!!

FYI, there is no decimal in CCCL unless you meant $300.50.

I agree Dave. It wasn't obvious to me at first what the dollar signs meant.

There are no rules about using dollar signs vs numbers, either written or implied. Like the folks said, it's just a tradition brought over from ASPD. It would make it easier to just use numbers.

Just my .0002$. Wait, is that two cents or .02 cents?

Actually I do not believe that the romans had a symbol for zero, or a decimal point for that matter. We all learned roman numerals as kids, but I doubt anyone ever learned the RN for zero...not that providers would let us have "it" for zero dollars (Clams , semolians , duckies...).

Staff edit

According to how $'s are used in reviews, wouldn't $.02 be 102 dollars? I've seen $.50 to mean 150 dollars. So would .02$ equal two dollars? So .0002$ would equal two cents?

Just ads to how jacked up using $ signs instead of numbers is.

Good thing hooker math isn't on the SAT's.

See, Roman Numerals are the way to go.....I started a new trend for you Dave...just to piss you off. LOL

Cheers

If there is a reason ladies cant post rates in their ads.......perhaps there is a reason they should not be posted in reviews.....
