NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Shares of Apple Computer Inc. fell as much as 5%

Or maybe the shares just fell 5%.

Guess they ain't teaching English at that thar journalism school.

It's one way (perhaps not the best) of saying that AAPL's low trade so far today was about 5% off yesterday's close. As of fifteen minutes ago, it was trading at 80.96, down 0.67% — a decent bounce.

By AP standards I don't believe they are supposed to use the % symbol either. It should be percent written out.
