On that note, I was taught that saying "and" in math denotes a decimal. Therefore, it peeves me when people throw "and" into a number. Leslie Anne, unless those people want you to give 100.10 percent, tell them to go somewhere! |
Isn't this technically 100.(point) 10 percent, or just a shade over 100 percent? It doesn't read like it's 110 percent.
If this drives you crazy, you should see my copy when I'm speechwriting and have to cite a number for my speaker. "XYZ Foundation raised more than 61-point-7-million-dollars in Fiscal Year ...."
Odd to read (and write), but it makes it flow during delivery.
