Percentages lack sufficient granularity. Permillages would do the trick.
- frob 4y agoThere's even an official per-mille symbol: ‰ My graduate advisor loved slipping it into papers just to show it off. I had to dissuade him at least once because it was in the middle of a table of percentages and who is going to that the 7th entry out of 12 has ‰ instead of %?
