$100 dollars or just $100?

I agree. I’ve also seen “US$100” in use.

No.

“I got $100 out of the ATM by using my PIN”

The $100 dollars is redundant
So is ATM machine
So is PIN number

To make that sentence correct, you must also include your PIN and send me your ATM card. :smiley:

That sound you hear is a whoosh.

Similarly, it is Dr John Smith or John Smith, MD but never Dr John Smith, MD.

The original post was:

There are three redundancies in that sentance. I corrected them.

Sorry, Gabe, maybe I should have used a smiley in my post, but I thought it would be obvious that I was being repetitiously redundant by saying the same thing over and over again repeatedly.

Anyone want a nice hot slice of pizza pie?

Yeah but FatBaldGuy knew that, that’s why he posted it.

I have to question that. MD is not redundant, it’s new information. My mother is Dr Betenoir’s Mom, PhD. not MD. Of course you could say John Smith, MD contains all the necessary information, but there are cases where a title would normally be used (Mr, Mrs, Ms) in which case it would make more sense to include the Dr as well if that’s what they usually go by.

Aha! So I’ve been whooshed! :smack:

I think there’s a “one more time, ad infinitum” left out at the end of that sentence, just to make it clearer and easier to understand.

Not just IYHO…it’s absolute fact that $100 Dollars is wrong.

But I do get confused about a related issue, which is what to do when you’re using national qualifiers like AUD, CDN, or USD.

Then do you do this?

USD $100

or this?

USD 100

or this?

$100 USD

Unless you’re in France or some other countries where it’s written as 5€ :mad:
