Here's another question:

1. How do I get a space between a control symbol and a word?

For example, I would like to get this line:

The cat is worth much $ today.

Would I type: The cat is worth much \$ today? Since TeX recognizes that 
there can only be one control symbol and therefore stops? It seems like the
only thing possible since if you wanted this line: The bank is worth 
an estimated $5000.00

you have to type: The bank is worth an estimated \$5000.00

And TeX recognizes that the "$" is a control symbol, and therefore stops.

What is the truth?

Thanks
