"Google took 7.4 per cent of the market but grew 80 per cent."
Once again we witness the use of percentages to try to make something more important than it is.
If you had written "Google took 7.4% of the market, going from a little bit to a little bit more", it wouldn't have seemed so impressive, would it? But that's what actually happened.
I sell an apple today, tomorrow I sell 2 apples. Wow ! I've increased sales by 100% !
It's only 2 apples.
Try not to repeat the hyperbole, ok ? Canalys is the marketing company, not El Reg. Get back to biting, please.
