Incorrect Scale Hydrometer Blues

Hi, I thought I had already posted this, but I hear no one else but me can seeit so I post again.I wonder if you can help me again?I was talking SG / PA with the guy that turned me on to wine making and he hadto correct me on what I thought I knewabout SG/PA.Here is a shot of my hydrometer. I rotated it to show the markings for SG andPA and drew lines across as a visual guide at each major graduation. Is my triple scale hydrometer wrong? It showsthe 1.110 as being 'above 17%' etc as you can see. How can a hydrometer be wrong? Or am I missing the point again...Jim
