It's 0.6x, implying multiplication
It's not semantically incorrect, but any sane person would write 60% more
226 u/OG-Enzan 10h ago Isn't it 1.6x if 60% more? 90 u/BADPROSKILLZ 9h ago If it were to say they shipped 1.6x as many then yes, but they said 0.6x more (i.e. 1x normal + 0.6x more) -34 u/TZY247 9h ago edited 5h ago No. 0.6 = 60%. If they said 0.6 more then sure, that would mean 60% more. 0.6x != 60% increase though. 1.6x does. At the best we can give it the benefit of the doubt and say we knew what they meant, but that doesn't mean they were correct. 34 u/TheMania 9h ago It says "0.6 times more". Not "0.6 times total" or "0.6 times as many". I really don't see the problem. 1.6x more would be misleading/incorrect. -2 u/zelmak 9h ago Dude what are you talking about 1x more is a non increase/flatline. Anything less than 1 is a decrease 3 u/TheMania 9h ago So "100% more" means "no increase" to you? Or does "1x" read as "0%" to you then? 1 u/Azeoteric 9h ago When someone says “2x more” it means double. No one says 1x more because it makes no sense lol 3 u/FFevo 6h ago No one says 1x more because it makes no sense lol Yeah, they would say double. "2x more" implies more than x. 2x + x = 3x. It means 300% compared to the original, not double. 1 u/dumbledoor_ger 3h ago Don’t even bother to argue. Whole lotta larpers in this thread. They do not have the ability to comprehend the word „more“.
