<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Seattlite86, post: 4191842, member: 59737&quot;]Let me help you understand your own confusion. Here is my original post, where I brought up .125% expressed as .00125.</p><p><br /></p><p>See that? That&#039;s .00125, which equals .125%</p><p>After I posted that, another member starting utilizing 12.5%, here:</p><p><br /></p><p>When I said I was &quot;confused&quot;, it was my polite way of pointing out that others had it wrong. I&#039;m well aware that .125 and 12.5% are the exact same mathematical expression, but those numbers were brought up in reference to numbers I already provided. Neither .125% nor .00125 equate to 12.5%. Hommer made an incorrect statement and I was politely correcting him. Now that your confusion is cleared up, you can hopefully recognize that I am not deficient in mathematics.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, I&#039;m a millennial. I&#039;m an officer in the United States Army, have served over 11 years and deployed for a year each to Iraq and Afghanistan. While earning my bachelor&#039;s degree at the United States Military Academy at West Point, I took (and performed well in) probability and statistics, calculus, trigonometry, linear algebra, physics, and several courses of civil mechanical engineering. I&#039;m fluent in three languages and just finished earning my master&#039;s degree in Germany, in the German language, which is my third language that I received only 9 months of instruction for before starting my masters degree. I graduated with a B+ GPA in both my bachelor&#039;s and master&#039;s degrees.</p><p><br /></p><p>The fact that you are convinced that I don&#039;t understand that 12.5% and .125 are the same expression has absolutely nothing to do with who I am, or what I know. It has everything to do with your deep rooted, negative preconceived notions that millennials should be despised simply for existing. It also has to do with your inability to read critically and follow a conversation. Time for you to work on your limited meta-cognitive capabilities and break some of your failed mental models.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
