Traditionally or logically, per cent ( or percent ) is never over 100 for the simple reason as Cambridge Advanced Leaner's Dictionary 3rd Ed.


Code:
percent, per cent /pəsent/ /pɚ-/  adverb     
 
  for or out of every 100, shown by the symbol %


If one could take 300 out of 100, then the one is either a magician or a con artist.

Australian Roasted Macadamias, everyone here knows what it is mean by just looking at the photo. And it's said "Product of Australia".

But I , according to my wife : having a bit too much of Gin on the rock at dinner table, think otherwise :

Is the macadamias nut roasted by Australian ?

or

Is it Roasted Australian Macadamias Nut ?


any way I turned back of the package :

It read :
Code:
25% lower in sodium as [b]compared to[/b] regular ready to eat nuts.

:eek: You only compare to for the likeness , not the differences. But you compare with something for differences. Is your head hurt like mime ? : pardon me, I have a bit too much this evening.

Exposure amps are good ; it quality can compare to Niam's ( Good in likeness )
Compare with Niam, exposure amps are cheap. ( Difference in price )

Train operator SMRT only care about commuters so all passengers take SBS.


Addendum

Commuters are passengers, but not all passengers are commuters.

It read, in case you can't read :

Code:

How can you play your part ?

- Hold on to your trash until you find a bin
- Encourage others not to litter




You encourage someone to do something.
You discourage someone from doing something.

It read

Advance Care Planning

I really have no idea whether these people have problem with the word : early  :)
You can't plan in advance since all the plans are done in advance but if you really qualify that things are done before really time to do planning , then just use the word "Early"

We have early retirement i.e. when a person is retired before his retirement age.
We wake up early i.e. earlier than usual 6 a.m.


Well, Oracle told me that my grammar is poor. He surely right for sure  ;D

Commuters

I really have no idea , why LTA and SMRT are keep insisting that passengers are commuters.
Commuters are the passengers who commute between their homes and their works. A commuter is a passenger but not all the passengers are commuters  8)

So if you are a passenger who not going to the work or not returning from the work, please walk  ;D ;D ;D
