Using % for MWC (only) saves confusion

Although any real number can be converted to %, does it make sense to say that pi is 314.159265...%?

If everyone would use (non-percent) decimal notation for emg and % for MWC, at a minimum, we would be better off. Best is to actually include the units emg or MWC along with the value. (And anyone who ever took a physics lab knows you get the back of your hands slapped for leaving off the units. :)
