Could you tack on a module which explains to journalists that if the percentage rate of inflation goes down then prices still go up, but just not as fast? Actually you might need to tack on a preceding module that explains ratios and percentages and how meaningless it is to talk about large changes in small numbers whilst not grasping small changes in big numbers. It’s unfortunate that journalism is controlled by the kids who flunked arithmetic aged 10.
