[X4U] Tiger's Calculator.app no longer does percentages?

[net kat]

If I may take the liberty to clarify, I believe what he means is that  
"4" is a number, whereas "%" is a method of getting AT a number.

as in a previous example, would you really accept a salary of '4' or  
of '4%' without knowing 4 WHAT or 4% of WHAT?
as  you may have learned by 6th grade math, points off for failing to  
include units or other indications of specificity.
