I have a feeling that some people might answer some of the "what is P(...)?" with a probability rather than a percentage (i.e. 0.5 when they actually mean 50%). (I almost did it myself)

(EDIT: However, some people (such as myself) also used 0.5 to mean 0.5%, so an automatic conversion is probably impossible.)

Oh whoops. I did this. Worst of all, I noticed that he wanted percentages, and forgot to go back and change it...

Hopefully this is obvious to see and for him to fix...

I also almost did this. Repeatedly.
