DANGER: Writer Attempts Wall Street Math!
We witnessed a fair amount of wonkiness on Wall Street today. Biggest drop in history! Run for your lives!
But, but, but, percentage wise, the dow fell 6.98%, also known as not quite 7%, less than 7%, under 7%.
Compare that with Black Monday and the Depression when the dow fell more than 20%, also known as a helluva lot more than today, three times more than today, way, way, way more than today. I'm just sayin'.
Now if this writing gig doesn't work out, does anyone think I have a future as a math teacher?
Disclaimer: the above excerpt is an example of how word choice creates tension in a scene, not a lesson in economics, which I am grossly unqualified to teach.
