[edit] Wrong evolution symbols

Something is wrong here. The evolution as shown in this article clearly differs from the evolution shown in the only reference provided for it [1]. Also, It must be more references, as the site provided can be wrong. Someone fix that. --SSpecter 1 november 2006

I though the evolution came from "pars per cent"--p/c (%)--and its parallel "pars per mill"--p/m (‰)? The article seems to hint at that but the symbols don't seem to agree with "per" being abbreviated as "/". CJLippert 17:08, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
