In the UG, it was mentioned that the exchange rates are shown in SGD/{other currency} but "USD, 0.8" was shown. As a user, I would not understand or be able to comprehend what that means.

Team's Response

As mentioned in the UG, the default currency is SG, thus SGD/{other currency} is meant to inform the users that the rate shown in "list exchange rates" refers to the amount denominated in foreign currency with respect to 1 SGD, instead of the other way around. Removing "SGD/" in front of the foreign currency is also to improve clarity and remove redundancy.

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: As a user myself, objectively speaking I did not understand what "USD, 0.8" meant. I believe many would agree that this is confusing. A "1 SGD : 0.8 USD" would make it clearer for the users. As developers, we need to make sure that the things we program are as intuitive and easy to use as possible. There is no redundancy in this. Besides "USD, 0.8" brings a lot of confusion for the user. If the team really feels that it is redundant, perhaps a "0.8USD" would be easier to understand than "USD, 0.8". I'm really not sure why the comma is there as well.
