People are downvoting this, but I'm always suspicious of comments online that imply they are from the US but mess up simple details that no native US user would mess up.


Special for you: one drone costs as little as 500€. But you can donate even few dollars, everything counts. That is the power of crowdfunding.

That guy by the link, Sternenko, supplied Ukrainian forces with 100 000 drones in 2024.


I dunno, a friend of mine does this, and she's a naive born American (and so are her parents). English is her only language. She knows it's "wrong", but just likes it better.


Frankly, with both percents and dollars, we say "One-hundred dollars/percent," so putting the symbol at the front is counterintuitive to how we speak.


There is always an exception that proves the rule.


Where did they imply they were from the US? And why would that be relevant here?


Really, it's surprising that someone used dollars to convey the value of something? On a western, US-focused, English-speaking forum?


If you're saying that someone is lying, you should be more upfront. Who do you think it is?
