Hello everyone, I don't understand why the official notation of 10% looks like this:
10% (including spaces). To me, that seems kind of stupid and unnecessary. Why does this rule apply to body text?

Loading...I have to divide the sentence "He always uses the excuse: 'You already have everything.'" and name the clauses according to the grammar of the Duden grammar dictionary. Now my question is, what type of clause "yes" belongs to.
It's actually unimportant, isn't it, if you have a high school diploma and then a bachelor's degree, then you can leave out the primary school, because I went to 3 different schools and that would extend my CV to 1.1 pages or so
I have a concrete example: Il raconte beaucoup d'histoires aux tourists. This history is interesting. Tourists love it . Couldn't one also write …ces adorent here? Translated, both mean: this I'm getting confused about the meanings… Thank you
What is the name of this little rubber part on a watch strap?
Is there a trick to calculating numbers divided by thousands? Eg 5000 divided by 9 3000 divided by 8 Etc.. Thanks
Can anyone think of a good title for this text? That would be a great help. Thanks in advance
Hello,
because in the written state also an empty step between 10 and Percentage is, Ten percent.
It is also set according to DIN 5008:

Why don’t I get it? I mean, years ago I learned that there was no space there. Perhaps too many designers complained that the visually doesn’t look good.
It is unpractical above all because you always have to set a protected space or have to accept that the line is broken between the number and the percentage.
In addition, this format requires more space, which can lead to problems for example in the design of tables or input masks.
Because it has evolved from words.
If you could change, however, the DIN still speaks against it, which should also be changed. Is probably compliant with the fact that between numbers and units there is also a standard character, e.g. 1 kg, 50 m
Because that’s actually two different words, for example, it’s like that or at 6 m.
Because ten is a word and percent is also a word, and between two words you make a space.
Percentage is not a word, but a complementary sign.
Nope @Schimeck is actually right. You make the blank because the percentage sign is a shortcut for the word. The same applies for the euro sign €
Then look in the Duden… The sign replaces the word. You don’t write 10€ or 10cm.
In the words ten and a thousand, which are written together ten thousand, the comparison does not hold ten thousand.
No, there’s nothing there, they’re separate words. It’s not ten percent, it’s ten percent. Besides, the number words. Percentage is not a number.
Here it is officially called DIN since 1990, before it was TGL, although every DIN A4 has said for example when buying paper.
At the time, I had learned this in my studies (from an older graduate engineer), but my studies are also a few years ago.
It was the old name, “Deutsche Industrienorm”… In 1975, “Deutsches Institut für Normung” was named… There has been DIN since 1917… When you googelt „Deutsche Industrienorm“, DIN and the Institute are also coming to the crumbs as a hit…
The Duden is faster than the DIN 5008. And the DIN also does not have to do with the industry, the I in DIN stands for institute, the DIN 5008 treats business letters. Sorry, but I had to get some crumbs now;-)
This has nothing to do with Duden, that is the DIN – German Industrial Standard. The Duden only talks about it…
Yeah, I can understand that not everything that’s in the Duden likes everyone. For example, I’m totally opposed to writing the word “du” small. But don’t change the fact when it comes to asking why, then you give a proper answer.
I would rather write 10€ and 5cm as much as I just did. That looks much better for me. In private texts I write a lot differently than the Duden people recommend. In official letters, however, I largely agree with Duden recommendations – only if I look too stupid, then not.
Then you should actually look into the Duden again.
but I would intuitively do that. At least at Euro.
