For some reason it gives you anxiety? Even if the question has nothing to do with anything gross or nasty. Like right now I'm wondering why so many symbols for currency in different parts of the world resemble the first letter of the English alphabet they start with, like the Euro or the Japanese Yen or the South Korean Won, but the dollar sign in Canada and the US looks like a letter S.
Never mind, I just looked it up. Apparently the theory is that it used to be an abbreviation for the Spanish word Pesos, or Ps. That's kind of interesting.
