The entire point of this thread is that I don't think it should "go with the flow". Percentage ratios are a bitch to calculate with, I know, it's only a decimal difference, but it completely synchs out your thought process. I wouldn't complain about it if it wasn't a problem.

As for your "137.5% of something is easier to read than 1.375" allow me to disagree, it's not, there's an extra symbol that's useless you have to wring out of your vision, and 200% doesn't speak as clearly as 2.0 (heck, even in physics and math they don't use percentages when comparing ratios but full numbers). Furthermore, as I said before, it's not the standard format used to compare ratios by the community.
