If someone said "there were a hundred-ish people at the event" how big of a range would imagine they mean?

I'd say -ish is 10%
"Around" would be 20%
"Close to" 25-30%

I use -ish less to imply a specific amount over/under, and more to make it clear that my estimation skills are shit and should be taken with a grain of salt.

That's assuming people can actually tell. They can't.

Also, "close to" is more narrow in theory.

True, that's the general wording we've used on our job sites so I have skewed views
