- dmos62 2y agoIf you're saying that someone is lying, you should be more upfront. Who do you think it is?
- kelnos 2y agoI dunno, a friend of mine does this, and she's a naive born American (and so are her parents). English is her only language. She knows it's "wrong", but just likes it better.
- BobaFloutist 2y agoFrankly, with both percents and dollars, we say "One-hundred dollars/percent," so putting the symbol at the front is counterintuitive to how we speak.
