HISTORY IN THE MAKING 2008-2016

Good luck!

We've spent a good many years discussing politics, life, society and history. Most of all, the makers of history. The great events that changed the world - people, places, actions. Small acts have changed its hard-worn course, and effort and circumstance can make of its small actors immortal greats. In line with that sentiment, it seems pertinent now to recognize the potential of those who've made up this community for years, obvious through their contributions to the spirited debate and discussion that has proceeded here. HITM has sadly gone silent, though perhaps not lacking for things to say about making history, but rather for the realization that it is time we all commenced to do so, and make our mark.

Good luck to you all, see you in the history books!

Dragon no offense, but this is 1st grade knowledge. When in school does the teacher put the percentage mark before the number. It just makes you look dumb.

It can be either %100 or 100%, if you ask a retard

It can be either %100 or 100%, although 100% is the most commonly used variation.

It's the same as how in English we can have theater or theatre, both spellings are correct, but depending on where you are the popularity of each variation changes. What you're not taking into account is that the percent symbol is a mathematical symbol, not a literary one. It means "divided by one hundred," so it can either be read 100% (One-Hundred Percent) or %100 (Per One-Hundred).

So, in other words, I'm right and Fellow's wrong.

This does not help deflate my U-Boat-sized ego, Parasky.

I don't take sides between people based on who I like or dislike, only by who is right and who is wrong.

The strategy of champions!

Yeah, and I'm right and he's wrong, which does nothing but make me more of an egomaniac pip-squeak. :(

I think people sometimes write 100€ because that's the way you pronounce it.
