A quote about laptops taken from a newspaper today about government departments losing electronic equipment; "The number going missing each year has almost doubled from 2021 to 2022, with a total of 559 missing at the end of 2021, rising to 912 in 2022."
That is not "almost double", it is not even an increase of two thirds.It is as bad as saying that August 19 is almost the end of the year.
