[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 978588, member: 323322"] As it's hot and I'm feeling grumpy (He's going home soon) here's another irritation. Why do Business commentators always smugly speak of rates in the manner "Half of one percent", or "Half a percentage point"? By their logic, it would be equally valid to say "A quarter of two percent". Why not stick to "Half a percent", like what normal people do? [/QUOTE]
