Infraction

The problem with numbers - and portions of numbers - as I see it, is the fact that they only give so much information. Where words are loaded, numerals and percentages only speak to the subject they are sampling: thirteen examples of methodological hermeneutics, five eighths of the glass jars, percentage of Bonnie Rock and Wialki area containing jam bushes

We don't notice how often we use these numberless numbers: the Dewey decimal system when borrowing things from the library, the basis of our currency at least for the last half century and then there's the metric system that we switched to over eighteen years.
I still speak in imperial when it comes to height and weight; people did the same moving from pounds shillings and pence.

The other thing that makes me uncomfortable around integers is that writers ply their audience with an arrangement of words, we feel that we are treading on the toes of mathematicians, statisticians, data analysts. I was going to do a further post with 27, 29, 51, 54, 55, 71, 82
I toyed with the idea of looking at the different types of fractions but that would be straying into the maths professors province
