Speaking of shares...

Even people who should know better are math challenged...

For example PBS does a stock wrap up here in SD at 3PM every day. They always mention how much "Dow" is up or down in points not percentages... which of course is useless unless you know the price of "Dow."

(I also find it weird the call it "Dow" instead of The Dow.)

So even semi-smart people are math challenged on points vs percentages.
