I used to have this sort of autistic pet peeve about the term " Fraction of the Cost", meant as something being cheaper. Well, 5, 9/4, etcany fraction with numerator larger than dominator doesn't fit. I'll sell it to you at "33/2 the cost". Common sense fortunately won.
You meant
"Common cents fortunately won."

To be pedantic the phrase should really be "proper fraction of the cost".

It is extremely against PF policy to discuss Chuck Norris and PMMs. Because, well, you know.
