If they didn't specify USD$1.2m in the press release, we wouldn't know if they meant New Zealand Dollar or US Dollar or Australian Dollar or what! I think he's referring to the redundancy of 'dollar' in there - USD$ says United States Dollar Dollar, because both the D and the $ mean "dollar". I don't actually know what's considered technically correct in such situations, but personally I've seen both USD$ and just US$ before.

USD is the Iso standard; but unless you're involved in the financial industry directly, work for MegaConglomoCorp, or the Government Iso standards are unlikely to be directly relevant to much that you do. :-/ Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Any chance of mirroring yesterday's article here, so I can read it without giving Kotaku a page view?	Posted by solistus#0470 on Oct 17, 2012, 10:19:08 PM Quote this Post
