- iscoelho 3y ago(and that is quite pedantic)
- Pet_Ant 3y ago(it was the best kind of correct: technically correct)
- foobazgt 3y agoOrder of magnitude in casual conversation typically means 10x. I don't think 2x vs 10x qualifies as pedantic.
- iscoelho 3y agoOh I don't disagree at all! It's a writing error on my end (clear since I qualify the percentage afterwards), so I think focusing on it distracts from the point (which is why I say it's pedantic). I understand the pet peeve though (-:
