Jun 18, 2014 at 23:41 comment added deutschZuid You've generalised an individual preference into a language-wide feature. This is simply a bad linguistic practice. In addition, you didn't really answer the question.
Jun 18, 2014 at 2:21 comment added ʇolɐǝz ǝɥʇ qoq That's not true. I always use 角. Both are correct, and that isn't what the question is asking for.

Jun 17, 2014 at 11:16 comment added Mou某 I'm asking why 角字 and 毛字 are used to represent 1/10th of a 元.
Jun 17, 2014 at 11:02 comment added 50-3 Are you asking about the evolution of the word or how 1/10th of a dollar represents 10 cents.
