To me putting it first feels funny. Euro 100, instead of 100 euros. While writing it you need to remember to put the symbol before writing the amount. Funny thing
I’ll give you my 2¢ on this: I like the dollar sign before the number. When I say “3 dollars” I see it as “$3” not “3$” and I don’t see it as “dollars 3” unless I’m telling a riddle.
Just like with American date structure: I’ll say July 26, 2026 and will see it as 07/26/2026.
(But when I put a date in files I go for YYYY/MM/DD format)
(Whoever created these systems had a funny sense of synergy lol)
Technically, I think that C° is used to express differences or ranges of temperatures. For instance the difference between 15 °C and 20 °C is 5 C°. Or you could say something like, “5 C° more is all it takes for me to start wearing shorts”.
I feel like that would have come up at some point during my two years of thermodynamics classes where we were constantly using ∆T. just did a search for “C°” in quotes, and for delta T; first one returned nothing, second showed a bunch of sources where the units of ∆T were °C. any idea where you might have heard this?
I’m old. Google tells me that “Celcius degrees” used to be used for differences or ranges, but modern standards just use “degrees celcius” for everything. My experience would come from thermodynamics classes in the 1980’s.
I’ve always seen Kelvin used to describe differences in temperature, since Kelvin has a real zero point and the steps are the same as Celsius. Or people just use °C because they don’t know or care that it’s technically wrong.
you’ve got me, I don’t know what C° is, I only know °C
Now that you pointed it out, this annoys me more than people who put the currency sign after the amount.

I dont know why that annoys me. It does annoy me but it shouldn’t because at least it has a logic to it.
£2 Is spoken “two pounds” not “pound two”
Is because with it being before, you get to know that the number is for a currency immediately, instead of finding out it’s a currency afterwards

Listen do you say Dollars 300 ($300) or do you say 300 Dollars (300$)?
I rest my case lol

Probably OOPs engagement bait, it gets me every time I see this meme 😭

I’m pretty sure you’ve made this up. °C is the unit regardless
How would you “say” this, “Five Celcius degrees more…”?
I reject your reality and substitute my own.
