dollar sign placement

[Doug Harris]

I occasionally see it in print, but most often in groups (un)like
this one -- 'like' only in that they're hosted by a yahoo-like
company.
What's as bad or worse is the usage such as one I see on a
printed sign hanging across the front of a local car dealer's
showroom, advertising cars for "less than $10,000 bucks".
Unfortunately, they probably didn't coin that, either.

Intellect's contacts and appointments managers also are cool.
