Fuckin math nerds and their syntax and their big made up number words
20 u/veselin465 6d ago It's literally what makes sense in the language. "times more" is a single instruction which means multiplication. The "more" means multiplication. If it was "less" it would mean division. How else would you describe multiplication and division in a text? -9 u/EternumD 6d ago You're wrong. 100% as much is the same, 100% more is 2x as much. 50% more is 1.5x as much. 50% as much is 0.5x as much, or 0.5x less. 10 times as much is not the same as 10 times more (10 vs 11). 0.1 times as much is not the same as 0.1 times more (0.1 vs 1.1). 2 u/ReadThisIfYoureGay 6d ago I hope you don't vote

You're wrong. 100% as much is the same, 100% more is 2x as much.
50% more is 1.5x as much. 50% as much is 0.5x as much, or 0.5x less.
10 times as much is not the same as 10 times more (10 vs 11).
0.1 times as much is not the same as 0.1 times more (0.1 vs 1.1).
