There is nothing reader unfriendly about following the print with regard
to the dollar sign, nor is there anything reader unfriendly about using
w/. Arguments are also counterintuitive. The same people who want to
save one cell by misrepresenting the print with the word with want to
add dozens of cells with the insertion of a nonexistent dollar sign.
