I doubt it Isaac Send a noteboard - 29/09/2009 12:46:45 PM

You really need to go back to school. Whereas percent is based on per hundred, promille (which I am unsure if it is used anywhere else) is per thousand. So that would be 0.02%. Now, go back and repeat your maths.


I wouldn't be surprised if it was buried somewhere in the English language, there are around a million and more words and a lot are really archaic, but if it were it would probably be spelt as permill instead, and I'd guess would be dropped out of use for fear of confusion with ppm or 'per million'.

You've raised my curiosity though, does it have a symbol like "%"?
