per centum

RFV for this supposedly English word, which is defined as simply "percent". — I.S.M.E.T.A. 20:32, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

I've added three quotations, and many more are available on Google Books with searches like "ten per centum" and "twelve per centum". Most of the uses I can find are from the 19th and early 20th centuries, and they all seem to be from the United States in a legal context. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 20:49, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

@Mr. Granger: Thanks for adding those. Shall I add {{lb|en|law|US|dated}} to the sense line? — I.S.M.E.T.A. 22:57, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Sounds reasonable to me. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 23:54, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

• RFV passed: quotations are in the entry. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:56, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
