I'm not disputing the fact that you write it - the fact that you did indeed write it is self-evident; I'm asking you the reason why you wrote it. "$.99" and "99c" are both logical, but ".99c" means "zero point nine nine cents"; it does not mean "ninety nine cents". If you mean "ninety nine cents", why is there a decimal point?
