Without looking into the article ,I would assume they meant 1/5 of the world supply?
How is refreshing to read a comment reply easier than reading the first damn sentence of the link ?
Some of us don't read the articles because the comments are more informative and useful.
I often dont have the competence and time so selective comments are often more informative for me
Maybe they got the same UI bug as me, where the entire article was squished to a width of about 2cm somewhere on the side and almost invisible between the links to other articles, making it seem like there's only the headline and nothing else.
I think he was being sarcastic because of the "broken" English in the title.
When there's a broken title on HN there's a good chance that it's been mangled by HN's scripts.
"One fifth of world's steel" makes sense, was it something else before?
It said "One fifth " initially when posted.This was probably due to a bug or mis-spelling
>A fifth is a unit of volume formerly used for wine and distilled beverages in the United States, equal to one fifth of a US liquid gallon, or 253⁄5 U.S. fluid ounces (757 milliliters)
