    But is that true for other units, too? Like miles or kilometers or kilograms or whatever you use

      Yes, actually. I frequently read a number, then the unit, then re-read the number. Or I read the unit, then the number, skipping around a bit.

        I personally don’t have it that bad but I’ve similar thoughts about written units. I must admit I do prefer everything working the same and as such think the dollar sign in front is extremely cursed.

        I also hate how few people use the ISO 8601 date standard which is super intuitive and machine friendly. And no matter what there is no excuse for the mm.dd.yyyy format.

      Yeah, that’s actually a very good point. Guess I could probably adapt more easily than I was imagining.
