Using percentages incorrectly

[MagicMike]

One of my pet hates is the inaccurate use of percentages by people, examples being:

1) When making a decision the term " I'm x% sure that I will or will not"

2) Or just as bad "I'm 105% sure or unsure"

How the have they calculated it to that exact percentage?

My wife's an accountant, she's going to tear me a new one when she sees this. She's thought she's the only one who's had to listen to my objections over the years, now I've found other like minded individuals (victims) , I shall gladly point out this ever growing thread in my defence
