... or when they say "300% more" instead of 200% more, for something that's 3x another. 300% more would be 4x.

I don't expect everyone to remember calculus, or Euler's identity, but 3rd grade math shouldn't be too much to ask.
That is 3rd grade math?

And then we have a person in government proclaiming to cut the prices of certain products by 500%, 1200%, 800%.
Meaningless drivel that the uninformed, math illiterate take as facts.

Here's a pet peeve from when I ran on the road a lot. I'd be running along, minding my own business, possibly setting a new personal best record for my run, battling the elements, fatigue, dehydration, heat stroke, etc., and people would roll up to me in a car and expect me to stop what I was doing and give them directions to QukTrip or whatever.

I would just keep running and ignore them unless they were going my way, then I would talk if they rolled along next to me. I would just tell them I was not familiar with the area and didn't know.

Some people would get mad, thinking my sole purpose for being out there was to give them directions.
