    As octoperson said I’ve used permille (‰), not percent (%). The article was already listing ratios per 1000, so it was easier. (Plus old habits die hard - I used ‰ quite a bit in chemistry).

    I’ll swap it with “/1k” for less confusion.

      I hadn’t even considered it might be that. I don’t think I have seen the permille symbol on the web before (as opposed to scientific papers or on black boards or similar places).
