Why do you guys say "per cent" instead of "percent"? Isn't "per cent" per 1000? If so, then this reduction is almost nothing, only 3.5%.
Isn’t “per cent” per 1000?
What? "per cent" is literally "per 100"?
Some writing styles even favour per cent written separately, it works the same.
Oh, I thought cent was 1000. I'm thinking of M, like CPM. I guess it should have been obvious, given that a hundred years is a century. Thanks for answering my question instead of just downvoting it like people do on this website.
Yup, M is for “mille”.
