Numbers

Today in class we went over how to edit numbers. Let me tell you this first and foremost, I hate math. I can't stand how boring math is and I feel a calculator can suffice for any math problem. I didn't think about the editing process of math and editing statistics. Literally each word matters when choosing how to write in numbers. It was funny listening to people arguing about statistics and how to right it in. Yes we look like fools saying it's a 6 percent increase rather than 4 (even thought it's 4 percentage points increase) but let all those say we are wrong, then you make them look like an ass. That's why I will be careful with the numbers I use, I don't want to make myself look like an ass as well as my readers.
