Things That Make Me Old

HEY! Whatever happened to the ¢ sign? I remember in elementary school when we did math it would be 99¢ + 1¢ = $1.00. Now when we write things out it is $0.99 or $.99. Who got to make the new rule that cut out my beloved cent sign? I just don't think it's fair... it took me way less time to make the cent sign (after I googled it of course, because it isn't on the keyboard) then it did to type $.99. Now with the explosion of 99¢ value menus the cent sign could make its comeback! Eh? Eh? It really is more aesthetically pleasing, don't you think?

Anyway, I am starting a new movement to bring the ¢ sign back, so you guys better start using it... I'm not even kidding.

Just in case your wondering... it's ALT 0162 to make one... See how easy that is!

  2. Sorry I cannot join your movement. All I get is ☻, → or ♠... wait that one was new. Let me try again, ☻. Ok, my computer is now racist. At first it would only make a white smiley face, now it will only make a black smiley face. This is probably not going to make any sense at all because when I hit post comment it is going to change all my symbols.
