    Isn’t “per cent” per 1000?

    What? “per cent” is literally “per 100”?

    Some writing styles even favour per cent written separately, it works the same.

      Oh, I thought cent was 1000. I’m thinking of M, like CPM. I guess it should have been obvious, given that a hundred years is a century. Thanks for answering my question instead of just downvoting it like people do on this website.
