100% Gravitas

By definition there can only be 100% of something; 101% or 110% is just not possible otherwise IT becomes the 100%.

When speaking in business if our desire is to affirm a positive commitment, why not say “I agree completely”; if we have to use percentages to express the level of our agreement/support, “I agree 100%” will convey the appropriate meaning.

Exaggerating to a point of absurdity diminishes credibility and lowers the likely-hood we will be taken seriously.
