peer agreement (net): +13two decimal points Explanation: Thats what we use in UK English -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2004-09-02 12:28:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or 2 decimal places -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 5 mins (2004-09-02 13:28:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Although most people are agreeing with \"places\" (which is probably the best) \"points\" is also used in this way, maybe it is more colloquial. A look on Google will show plenty of native sites like this quote from a UK English one \"The calculator allows part-time calculations to be entered to one decimal point, but I have teachers whose hours are expressed to two decimal points. A number of people have raised this point and we have now changed the part-time function to work to two decimal points. However, you should remember that the part time ratios are based on percentages, not decimal points — i.e. one day per week is 20%, not 0.2\" Still, places is probably best |
