57.5% is not a 'great majority'. It's only slightly more than half!

That's why I remind people. Use international standards/formats and be less insular. (And FFS, go metric ;)

57% is the greatest number on that chart. I didn’t see any other number past say 9% if I remember correctly. (It was actually 6%.) That’s the great majority.

Yes, be less insular too... however please try to do it in a non-snarky way that won’t provoke the other human beings.
