Yeah, but have you seen swans in their non-cuddly phase? It isn't very pretty. Don't ask me to explain; I had a bad experience once.

I used a bidet once with the coldest temperature by accident. Man, I hit the high notes for days.

Percentage statistics can easily be deceptive, which is why advertisers and casinos love them. Using the base numbers is more illustrative. So (and I'm not doing this to be patronising to anyone reading this) I try throwing a ball into a net and have only ever done it once (regardless of the number of attempts I made). If I then get it in the net a second time, that's a 100% performance increase. However, if you take into account the numer of attempts, then the picture is very different. Let's say 100 throws, 1 in - that's a 1% hit rate. 2 in is a 2% hit rate. It's still a 100% improvement in hits, but only a 1% overall improvement. Be very wary of people who use statistical percentage changes to convince you of an argument, they may be lying to you and not even know it themselves.

I worked in statistic for many years and always, even waay before that, like back in secondary school, found this sort of thing obvious. TBH I find it slightly horrifying to realise that there are people who struggle with basic concepts like this.

I find this kind of thing a lot more intuitive than "normal" math. I've got problem transforming percentage into numbers - like I get problems when they ask me "how much is 75% of 178" but I get the concept of percentages fine.

Math and science professionals use percentage points instead of percent increase precisely because of this problem. If someone tells you "percent increase", then you need to ask if they mean "percentage points"!

Whenever I find this happening, I never know if it is an innocent mistake or done on purpose.

At college I had a course on creative statistics, basically teaching us how to present facts in a way to back up what you want rather than reality that will confuse anyone who does not use maths and statistics regularly.

hey, 80% of 10 is 8, so 10+8= 18 it seems not so tough to understand...

Never had a problem with that kind of logic. Others... don't ask.

Yes, 80% more than the number of the current percentage. If, like the example, your odds are currently 10%, 80% of 10 is 8, so 10+8=18 so 18% likelihood

This is why Americans are so easy to manipulate when it comes to the US economy. I feel to get a driver license you must take macro economics 101. Then, every 5 years take a continuous education class to get a tax break.

There was a spoof tweet at Christmas. Something along these lines "Can anyone tell me where the nearest Tesco Christmas Party is? The amount of scanning I've done makes me feel like I should be an employee"

I'm French and this is hilarious! The 11 letters pronounced 4 isn't true in south of France, though. In this area you have 4 letters and you pronounce 11!!

Acceptable comment is either "Americans will do anything to avoid the metric system" or "Need banana for scale."

That's not true - they gave credit on just about every image to the "Science Funnies Page" they scraped it from. Wonder where the science funnies got it?
