I've always been annoyed by meteorological descriptions like "partly" and "mostly." In particular, I'm bothered by the apparent lack of logical distinction between a pair of descriptions like "partly sunny" and "mostly cloudy." To me, one implies the other, so how do they choose which to communicate as the official forecast?
After years of wondering about this, I finally was unlazy enough to ask the internet about it. And the answer is: There's no difference. They're just playing mind games with us.
Check out what Seattle's ABC affiliate has to say about it. I feel duped. I really wanted to believe that there was a difference between the two.
