The dollar sign isn’t a prefix in many EU countries. It’s so weird to learn that currencies go first. Then again, I still don’t understand a single American measurement either so why wouldn’t it be weird? Seriously, I have no idea what a mile or a feet is. I’ve learned from time to time when I needed to, but I always forget again because it’s just not making any sense to me.

Or maybe it’s bit weird. Do you guys also put something like “ml” in front of numbers? Would it be: “you can buy 10ml of milk for $2”?

LOL, Americans don't do ml. It would be 1/8 fluid wainscot of milk or something.

I realize making fun of the imperial measurement system is a great internet pastime, but almost everything in America has measurements in both imperial and metric on the packaging. The can of soda I'm looking at says 12 fl oz, and then in parentheses it says 355 ml.
