HollownessDevoured Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 It only displays 100, not 100% as the hover over indicates it was meant for. Just seems weird to implement a 100% reaction, just to be missing %. No one says "I 100 agree" it is 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Oddly, in current usage, "100" is correct and "100%" is not. "I'm keeping it 100" is one phrasing. Strange to only say 90% of the sentence. They definitely should choose one or the other, though. A reaction image that says "100" with a tool tip that says "100%" is wrong no matter how it was meant.

I am genuinely unfamiliar the term used this way, is this term used to a specific region or vernacular? I only ever have heard/used phrases such as "I 100% agree" "100% this". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollownessDevoured Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 (edited) I looked it up so it is just the evolution of "Keeping it real"? I honestly never heard or used this term in my life till now. edit: basically this is vernacular in origin; so not exactly a universally used term. IMHO "100% agree" has been around longer and has more familiarity but if this is the new net speak, then so be it.

There IS room for the %, but like I said, it's probably just a stock reaction, because I suggested “THIS”. “100%” and “LOVE” (a Red Heart), but only ONE of the three were activated, so I'm assuming 100 was the only one available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone/staff found of this phrase's icon/image and decided the snippet of this phrase would prove a helpful as an emoji/reaction for the forums or they themselves assumed it was a 100% icon/image not realizing the actual images is a "Keeping it real" variation.

Demorphic literally added the 100 reaction to my post, and as a reaction to it as a semi-joke That was the very first time it showed up, it gave me a chuckle. And 100s you see in earlier posts, are there now from people coming along later in the thread after they added it, and using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he accidentally used the 100 from the "I'm keeping it 100" instead of the 100% you asked for? Oof...

Maybe I am just not a person who says "keeping it real" ever LOL and cannot relate, and I find this a disjointed reaction to discussion posts. But I do say "100%" or "This^" or "I 100% agree" normally—especially over discussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
