@sil Incidentally, if I was emperor of the universe, I would ban percentages. They look like a number you could add, but are really a fraction you should multiply, and people find that confusing and difficult. You get people saying things like "The X party are ten percent ahead of the Y party in the polls", when 20% to %10 is actually double (that is, 100% ahead).
