You're just not right. Saying prices rose 8.5% in March means prices rose 8.5% in March, not in the year ending in march. Reputable journalists say inflation rose to 8.5% in march, which isn't the same as saying prices rose 8.5% at all. I really don't think this is petty at all. Saying prices rose 8.5% in a month is incredibly misleading.
