NOBODY IS EVER MISSING (CATHERINE LACEY) AND PERCENTAGES

 They looked and made quick calculations: a 7 percent chance of con artistry, 4 percent chance of prostitution, 50 percent chance of mental instability, 20 percent chance of obnoxiousness, a 4 percent chance of violent behavior.


 

One of the aims of this blog is to show how science language can be integrated in literature in a nice and charm way, as in this good example that looks like a Kiko Veneno´s song. So, it´s out of my mind to look for mistakes or bloomers. But, if I wanted to take the unpleasent role of fussy proofreader, (something that, as a teacher, I try to avoid on my holidays), I´d check whether the addition of all the percentages is like it must be, ie, 100.
