Nope, that's incorrect American. ;-) You can say "I bought a $100 gumball for $80, saving 20%," or "If I buy a $100 gumball for $80, I have achieved a savings of 20%." (Although, you lose points for style with "achieved", and those are awfully expensive gumballs). ;-) -- Terry Hancock ( hancock at anansispaceworks.com ) Anansi Spaceworks http://www.anansispaceworks.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
