I'm pretty sure twisting statistics to prove a point is a time honnored tradition for both acidamia since the greeks, and media since the printing press.

Percent, a part out of one hundred. Perkilo, a part of one thousand. X = 10, M = 1000.
What's the word for the 10ks ? Could you write it something like o/mk or would it be o/km? I'm sure one would mean 10,000 and the other would mean 990.

Silly saussage, I've been doing it the wrong way 'round.
Battered would be 2.43/km of me, rather than me being 2.43/km of him. What a silly saussage I am.

That would present information that we legally have to provide in far too clear a format and make us look bad.

36% of people believe that I can wilfully interchange between numbers and percentages.
Which is over a third, which is more than the number of people who voted for the tories, which means I'm perfectly at liberty to dismantle the NHS if I want to.
