Conversation went like this..............

Other: We are looking to increase the target by 3% from 75% to 78%

Me: That's a 4% increase, you mean three percentage points

Other: What's a percentage point?

Me (thinks): FFS

Given that my bonus is riding on achievement the difference between the two
is 25%. I think I needed to be absolutely sure of what I was being asked to
achieve.

He had a puzzled look on his face when I gave him a calculator to work out
75 + 3%.
