Well, it has came aware to me that many people use different 'sayings'.
If you were giving it your 'all' doing something, (sports, tests, whatever) Would you say you gave it 100% or 110% (120% etc.) ??
Explain to me Why, Because 110% doesn't make sense.

Although I never say either, people never go around saying they gave it 90% of their effort, so when they try they say 100%, but that leaves no distinction for any more effort, so when they do something they the REALLY put their heart into, it could be considered 110%. Its just an expression, although u cant give 110%. There are a lot of phrases in our language that cant be taken literaly but still have value.
