I don’t know when Sarah will announce her intentions, but I REALLY HATE the phrase “110 percent.” THERE IS NO SUCH NUMBER.

If the speed limit is 100 MPH, and you are driving 110 MPH, you are going 110 percent of the speed limit. So, I guess there is such a number.

The shuttle throttled up to over one hundred percent, also.

Sorry.
