@NV interesting. Thanks for explaining.
And please know I'm just messing with you, and most of the time your rants aren't even angry, just to the point.

"2 times faster" is not the same thing as "twice as fast". It's 1x + 2x vs. 1x * 2.
"2 times faster" is three times as fast. 1x + 2x = 3x.
IT'S TIME FOR NATURALVIOLENCE'S ANGRY RANT OF THE DAY!!!
I can't even begin to count the number of times I see people constantly making this mistake both in real life and online. People actually argue with me about this in both realms as if it's not a well known fact. This misuse of the term may in fact be just as common as the correct use, it certainly seems that way. I even see professionals using this type of incorrect math all the time to market products. It pisses me off so much because it's so obvious yet so many people actually grow up thinking that 2 times faster means twice as fast. It annoys me even more when professionals do it. People shouldn't be using the term "times faster" to begin with because it's poor wording yet it seems to be much more common than the much more appropriate term "as fast".
This has always annoyed me when it comes to percentages
Same here (in reference to ED2's comment).
DefenderX has dethroned me at the top of the posts today ranking.
Bravo, good sir, bravo.
