Why don’t we speak money values the way we write them numberically (speaking as a white cis male, of course):
We write a fiver as “$5” or “$5.00”. If we’re including a currency, it’s “$5 Canadian”. But we read it or speak it as “five dollars”. But it should be “dollars five”.
We don’t do this with mass: “5kg” is “five kilos”. We don’t do this with length: “2m” is “two meters”.
So, I will attempt to lead by example (sigh….). I’ll use my style here.
