I guess I could live with 'more than 10 and more than 25% of total'. And form is important; many badges have restrictions (e.g. no self-accepts, no community wiki posts) which belong in the FAQ, not the description, which needs to be concise and easily parseable. Using round numbers helps with the latter. | |

| Apr 13, 2021 at 6:11 | comment | added | Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog | @Glorfindel The Populist badge description doesn't use nice round numbers. Also, using more accurate and less ambiguous wording is less important in my mind than having the description look aesthetically nice. Let's not emphasize form over function. | |
| Apr 13, 2021 at 6:04 | comment | added | Glorfindel Mod | What I like about the current descriptions is that they use nice round numbers. I wouldn't be opposed to a change to 'at least 5/10' but that would change the award criteria. | |

| Apr 13, 2021 at 4:50 | comment | added | Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog | @41686d6564 The impetus for this feature request came mainly from this answer, which only suggested the first change; the second change is something I thought about later as I was writing this. I've since edited it to make clear there are two suggested changes. | |

Users reading "more than x" as "x or more" are just not paying attention. The downvotes are probably coming from users who only read your first argument and don't think the text should be changed based on that | |
