I guess that sort of thing is very individual. My house payments have not changed at all. Food and natural-gas prices have skyrocketed, and I drive so little that petrol increases hardly affect me.

Don't quite get the analogy.
For example
Feb 2022 price = $1000
Mar 2022 price = $5000
Feb 2023 price = $1150
Mar 2023 price = $5770
This shows a 15% increase Feb 2022 - Feb 2023
and 15.4% increase Mar 2022 - Mar 2023.
​
Do the numbers show a fall in inflation?

Haha, here's another example which satisfies the supplied percentages and dates. It shows a 15% inflation Feb2022-Feb2023 and a 15.4% inflation Mar2022-Mar2023.
​
| Feb | $1000 | |
|---|---|---|
| Mar | $5000 | |
| Apr | $5000 | |
| May | $5000 | |
| Jun | $5000 | |
| Jul | $5000 | |
| Aug | $5000 | |
| Sep | $5000 | |
| Oct | $5000 | |
| Nov | $5000 | |
| Dec | $5000 | |
| Jan | $5000 | |
| Feb | $1150 | |
| Mar | $5770 |

True, it could even have looked like this:
​
| Feb | $1000 | |
|---|---|---|
| Mar | $1000 | |
| Apr | $1000 | |
| May | $1000 | |
| Jun | $1000 | |
| Jul | $1000 | |
| Aug | $1150 | |
| Sep | $1150 | |
| Oct | $1150 | |
| Nov | $1150 | |
| Dec | $1150 | |
| Jan | $1150 | |
| Feb | $1150 | |
| Mar | $1154 |
15% increase between July and August, but otherwise mostly 0% monthly increases, and then ~0.35% increase between Feb2023-Mar2023
weird

In February inflation was 15%. In March it was 15.4%.
Is that a fall then?

> food, tobacco and alcoholic drinks were 15.4% more expensive in March than a year earlier, compared with a 15% annual rise in February.
But is it really a fall in inflation?

Isn't the word "cetacean" synonymous with "whale"?

No black Americans owned homes in the old Norse times. Draw your own conclusion.

They're just examples - there were no actual numbers in the article, only dates and percentage increases
