The above quotes have describe the remotely different rise in percentage in a certain figure - (12 to 16 and 600 to 1170). Though, the "just over" phrase is still being used in the second quote - almost a 100% increase in the amount of likes, definitely not "just over". So is "just over" more of a decorative term rather than a term with real meaning?
