:::::: Dear {{reply to|JayBeeEll}}, It is no matter of language. In our country 1+1=2. Maybe in the UK the result is 3 and in the USA is 4 (everything is bigger in the USA, e.g. cars, etc.) :) Therefore I think "DIN 5477" is relevant here. To me, "3/4 of something" minus "2/4 of something" is "1/4 of something", but not "1 quarter point". Similarly, "44/100 of something" minus "40/100 of something" is "4/100 of something", but not "4 hundret points". The percentage is nothing, but a number (or ratio) expressed as a fraction of 100. So simple it is. If I see "44/100 of something" I can call it "44% of something". That's it. The same for "40/100 of something" and "4/100 of something". I'm not trying to remove percentage points from English. If anyone needs them, ok, no problem. '''But it is not the only option! And your own statements just proved it.''' (See your last two statements, which are synonymous according to you.) '''And that's exactly what the wiki doesn't reflect.''' The same for the increase. There is an actual increase, an absolute increase and a relative increase. If everything is "the increase", why should we distinguish between them? It must be short, but not accurate. Right?
