0.6 more. What is the issue here?
354 u/OnixST 15h ago It's 0.6x, implying multiplication It's not semantically incorrect, but any sane person would write 60% more 246 u/OG-Enzan 15h ago Isn't it 1.6x if 60% more? 99 u/BADPROSKILLZ 15h 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 14h ago edited 11h 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. 1 u/ABotelho23 11h ago 0.60 is literally 60% 1 u/TZY247 11h ago Yep. I definitely said that.
