How can you use “lcv-scored” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
* Pedant's Corner : the erroneous 85 to 66 percent calculations were almost certainly arrived at by averaging the yearly LCV scores; but LCV calculates a legislator's lifetime score by adding up all his pro-environment votes and dividing that number by the total number of LCV-scored votes that took place while he was in Congress.
Because of a typo on the LCV scorecard for Bradley, Chatterbox momentarily thought Gore had been rooked; dividing Bradley's lifetime total of 172 pro-environment votes by 214, which the scorecard presents as the total number of LCV-scored votes that took place during Bradley's years in Congress, Chatterbox got not 84 percent but 80 percent .
Then Chatterbox noticed that Gore had missed a total of 19 LCV-scored environmental votes during his years in Congress, while Bradley has missed only nine.
The 1992 score, 58 percent, is entirely attributable to five absences; Gore didn't cast a single "anti-environment" vote that year, but there were only 12 LCV-scored votes.
He ended up with 50 percent because he was absent for four out of ten LCV-scored votes.
