Why is percent written out as 2 words? It's infuriating...

Apparently both are correct, but writing as 2 separate words is more common if you're British or Canadian than if you're from the US.

I know I see "per cent" in lots of old books.

Well I'll be damned. Good to know, thanks for the info.

AP style for publishing has different rules for all sorts of things, but headlines get even more specialized rules.
