@Rinoa Super-Genius: You've blown your "Super-Genius" claim clear out of the water by the way you used the '$' symbol in your sentence. Learn to place symbols correctly The Dollar sign should be placed AHEAD of the number value, thus: $35; $20; $15.

Er.... that's 100%, not %100. Not that I claim to be 100% correct. It is simply convention that when you write a monetary value, the dollar(or pound in Britain) symbol goes ahead of the number.

When a heater claims itself as "digital", the BULLSHIT alarm should be ringing so loudly as to deafen you! There's ABSOLUTELY NOTHING DIGITAL about room heaters!

The term "Digital" is being OVERUSED. Dyson advertised a vacuum cleaner a year or so ago that employed a "digital" motor and that's where it really gets stupid. There's NOTHING digital in the process of converting electrical energy into kinetic energy.

Give me good old analogue any day when it comes to heaters and vacuum cleaners. It's enough that we've had digital TV shoved down our throats when the analogue system was far more efficient.

The dollar sign goes AHEAD of the number, because the decimal point must follow. To write $2.55, for instance as 2$.55 looks infantile and incorrect. Even if you delete the decimal point it still looks wrong.... and it IS wrong. If you were taught in school to write a dollar-value with the dollar sign BEHIND the number, then your teacher should return his/her diploma, or certificate and go back to infants school and start over again.

@Stephen Morton, perhaps you should revise the spelling of your surname(you DO know what a surname is, don't you? I'll give you a clue... It's NOT your first name!). You should remove the 't' to more accurately reflect your intelligence when writing or reading anything in the English language.

@Stephen Moron(Morton): You're getting repetitive.

It would figure that French-speakers would write a monetary figure like $15(or any other value) arse-about. It makes NO sense to put the dollar, or even British Pound symbol anywhere BUT at the head of the figure. In pre-decimal British currency, or even Australian pre-decimal currency, a sum of two pounds, ten shillings and tenpence would be written as £2/10/10 but after Britain decimalised their currency in 1971 that figure would be £5.10 as 10 shillings would become one decimal pound as the shillings were done away with, and two pre-decimal pounds would become 4 decimal pounds, much like 10 Australian pre-decimal shillings became 1 dollar, and 1 pound became two dollars. The symbol for pound or dollar came before the numerals because the decimal point came between the numerals for dollars and those for the cents.
