Newbie question

[JoeShmo]

Hi there,

New to the forum, and was wondering if someone could clarify the "price codes" used throughout. It may be simple enough, but I'm a bit confused.

When someone uses something like $.2 - does this mean $20 or $120

Other examples I've seen are things like

room = .3
fs = $.4

So, by this I am guessing that the room is 30 and the FS is 140...

Am I on the right track?

Thanks

$120.

Yes.

I hate the price codes myself, especially greens, browns, etc. I just state what I paid in plain terms such as $200.

Many thanks,

I agree... Don't like the codes.

I was assuming there was some kinda etiquette people were following.

The "codes" date back to the early 1600's when people first started using computers and forums.

the computer geeks were finally happy that had found a "medium" where they could show off their brillance and make others feel stupid and inferior.

So they came up with the code.

I`ve explained it in post #123 of the common abbreviations thread located in the Vancouver Escort Reviews section...

It`s been a pretty handy thread and one of the oldest active threads.

I didn't know that they had computers back in the 1600's.
