| people, persons, pension, penny | |
| per capita, per cent, perceive |
[Etymology: Lat: ‘for each’] Occurs widely in expressing speed and other ratios of one item to every or each one of another and, in the form of per cent, to a multiplicity. Though long included in the expression m.p.h. for miles per hour (but just as widely omitted when codifying pounds per square inch as p.s.i.), the term is deprecated except in normal full English. The language-independent solidus is preferred, as in km/h for kilometres per hour, or the use of a negative exponent, e.g. km·h-1.
(Personal Emergency Reporting System) A communications system that notifies a central monitoring facility in case of problems. A PERS is activated by the elderly or physically impaired either from a transmitter worn on the wrist or around the neck. Some systems use infrared transmitters and receivers to monitor a person's daily activities and ensure that they are mobile during certain hours of the day. See telehealth.
