L'expression s'écrit en toutes lettres lorsqu'elle a le sens de «entièrement», «pur», ou quand elle commence une phrase : «Un produit cent pour cent canadien.» «Dix pour cent de ses tomates ont été détruites par le gel, et 10 % n'ont jamais mûri.» Dans les textes de style soigné, on peut écrire : trente pour cent; 30 pour 100; 30 p. 100.

The Riddler, real name Edward Nigma is a DC Comics supervillain, an enemy of Batman. Created by Bill Finger and Dick Sprang, he first appeared in Detective Comics No. 140(1948). Known for his green, question mark-covered costume(either as a skintight catsuit or a business suit and bowler hat), The Riddler is obsessed with riddles, puzzles, and word games. He delights in planning crimes and forewarning police and Batman of his capers by sending them often complex riddles. Many adaptations of the Batman mythos have given The Riddler the real name Edward Nigma(or Nygma) or E. Nigma. Occasionally his full name has been given as Edward E. Nigma. Some have depicted this as a false name and his real name as Edward Nashton. In the French and Quebecois translations of various Batman titles, his nom de plume has been translated to Le Sphinx, as in the riddle-posing monster of Greek mythology that Oedipus confronted. In Italy he's called Enigmista, the literal translation of "riddler". In Mexico and Latin America, The Riddler is known as El Acertijo, which literally means "The Riddle". In Brazil, the character is named Charada, which also means "Riddle". 1, record 8, English, - The%20Riddler

Personnage malicieux qui s'oppose à Batman dans ses nombreuses aventures en bandes dessinées (comics) publiées par DC Comics, le Sphinx ou Homme-mystère (The Riddler); Edward Nigma (ou parfois Edward Nashton) est un malfaiteur cérébral plutôt qu'un assassin cruel. Obsédé par les devinettes, charades et toute gymnastique intellectuelle très tôt dans sa vie, il se dirigea assez naturellement vers l'accomplissement de délits et autres sortes de turpitudes interdites par la loi. Le Sphinx, rendu célèbre par les indices énigmatiques laissés à l'intention du Chevalier masqué et son costume vert orné de points d'interrogations multiples (complet cravate, chapeau melon et cane ou collants une pièce) devient un des ennemis de Batman les plus reconnus. Même si son physique parfois développé laisse penser le contraire, le Sphinx n'a jamais été doué pour les combats corps à corps; un scénario de comics le montre d'ailleurs très offusqué de la popularisation des meurtres à Gotham City. Le Sphinx est d'ailleurs un des seuls ennemi de Batman à avoir déduit l'identité réelle du Chevalier noir. 1, record 8, French, - Sphinx

On 8 September, UNESCO celebrates International Literacy Day. Some people may believe that, in the audiovisual age, writing is outmoded; but this is by no means true. On the one hand, the written word is still indispensable as a reference point or a compass, enabling us to get our bearings in the galaxy of visual images. On the other hand, written knowledge is as vital as ever to the self-realization of every individual, every social group and every nation. Mastery of the written word is still a condition of access to knowledge and the full exercise of citizenship. Although illiteracy, in oral civilizations, can clearly not be equated with ignorance, it is a major obstacle to the acquisition of the knowledge and know-how that are essential for daily life in modern society. 1, record 10, English, - International%20Literacy%20Day

L'UNESCO célèbre le 8 septembre la Journée Internationale de l'alphabétisation. Même si certains pensent qu'à l'époque du «tout image», l'écrit est dépassé, il n'en est rien. D'une part, l'écrit reste indispensable comme repère, ou comme boussole, dans la galaxie de l'image. D'autre part, le savoir écrit est toujours aussi vital pour l'affirmation de chaque personnel de chaque groupe social, de chaque nation. La maîtrise de l'écrit conditionne encore et toujours l'accès au savoir et au plein exercice de la citoyenneté. Si, dans les civilisations de l'oralité, l'analphabétisme n'est évidemment pas synonyme d'ignorance, il se révèle un obstacle majeur à l'acquisition des connaissances indispensables à la vie quotidienne dans une société moderne. 1, record 10, French, - Journ%C3%A9e%20internationale%20de%20l%27alphab%C3%A9tisation
