- the-dude 8y agoNot true at all.
- vsl 8y agoNope. And it’s not common to put % in front at all either. This quirk identifies the author as having as their first language Arabic, perhaps Persian (where both styles are mixed), or Turkish (that one surprised me - RTL origin didn’t): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent_sign https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent_sign
- danellis 8y agoI can't think of anywhere it's common to put the dollar sign after. They put the Euro sign after in some European countries. Nowhere puts the percentage sign first. The author is in the US, though.
