How much really?
0 Hi, 02 br
02 br
00 When one asks how much is it, you would answer it is a certain amount, but it seems lately that I am seeing some texts with rather puzzling usage of their monies. 02 br
02 br
00 Ex. 02 br
02 br
00 It is 5000 01 u 00 pesoes 02 u 00 . 02 br
02 br
00 It is 5000 01 u 00 dollars 02 u 00 , OK but 02 br
02 br
00 here, why? 02 br
02 br
00 It is 5000 01 u 00 won 02 u 00 . (not plural?) 02 br
02 br
00 It is 5000 01 u 00 yen 02 u 00 . (not plural?) 0-

0 Different currencies come from different languages with their own grammars. Japanese ( 01 i 00 yen 02 i 00 ) and, I think, Korean ( 01 i 00 won 02 i 00 ) do not use an 01 i 00 -s 02 i 00 marker for the plural, so the habit has carried over to English use. 0-
