I did not even state a percentage on which one could argue, yet you deny that every xth user could,
I understand that 'xth' is abbreviation for 'sixth'.
LOL, of course you do, as someone who claims to be familiar with statistics, you take and x for a 6 or think that people do the exact same spelling mistake all over again. Actually it is even harder to forget about letters in the exact same way over and over again, if the word is as complicated as - sixth... Come on, no better excuse?
You made my day!
My main language is not English, and 'xth' is not in the dictionary. You should not assume that everybody on an international list will understand your particular slang.
Oh yeah, x is my personal English maths slang because in all other languages x is actually y... And th is my personal date/number slang, because 4th, 5th or 10th is something that is only taught in English for experts and hardly mentioned in any statistics book that talks about probability. All that in a context that explicitly mentions statistics and replying a person that claims to be into statistics - how could I use my personal slang...
