I have seen a few design where the developers have defined very long values in percentage. I am wondering what’s the reason to write so long values, why not just round about? and how do you even calculate/convert such values?
For example (taken from a css file):
.thumbnail { width: 68.08510638297872%; }
table { font-size: 0.9166666666666667em; }
That looks to me like those figures are generated programatically, not by humans directly. No Scotsman would do such a thing. Well, no true Scotsman 🙂
Probably they come from a WYSIWYG layout editor that couldn’t care less about readability, never expecting anyone to go and hand-edit the output.
