Off topic but...Does anybody else find the use of large percentages to show growth as annoying as I do?

1000% is an 11x increase but to see that easily you have to enumerate the values 100% = 2x, 200% = 3x, ... , 1000% = 11x or do a quick inductive proof.

Why not just say 11x? The article pointed out that Asian LNG prices increased six-fold.
