Subject: RE: BS: how much bullshit hides in your text?
The meter didn't recognize a text weather forecast as English so I added some punctuation, conjunctions etc. and wrote out the temperatures in words:

Today: Sunny, becoming a mix of sun and cloud this afternoon. High twenty-nine with a UV index of nine or very high. Tonight, a few clouds and a low of seventeen degrees. Sunday, a mix of sun and cloud. Thirty percent chance of showers late in the afternoon and in the evening with risk of a thunderstorm. High thirty-one degrees. Monday, sunny and a low of seventeen degrees, high twenty-nine. Tuesday sunny and Low fifteen, high twenty-nine.

The above passage measured in at 0.04. Silly meter doesn't even know that a forecast high of 29°C for several days in a row is definitely bullshit.
