Method Like The document as a whole was pasted into Lotus Word Pro 97 and the grammar checker was used to analyse the text with all of the results being written down. Each paragraph was then analysed and noted in the same way. Results
The Bormuth grade does not vary much (remembering that the graph has a false zero and therefore any variations will be exagerated to some extent) However, the striking variation in the Flesch-Kincaid and the Flesch Grade indicate within the limitations of the sample size that paragraphs 1, 2, 7, 13 and 14 are different to the rest. The Flesch-Kincaid score is of particular interest as this confoms to military and DoD specifications - in addition, it shows the widest variation. Paragraphs 1 and 2 set up the statement, giving background detail and paragraph 7 deals with the contentous fact of intimidation. Paragraphs 13 and 14 deal with the specific events concerning the goings on in the appeal hearing thus all of these 5 paragraphs are of particular importance and are particularly likely to have had their content influenced in detail by a solicitor or other legally trained individual. These tests indicate that at least
two people wrote the POE of which one had legal
training. |

Grammatik, the
Grammar Checker in Lotus Word Pro 97 gives a lot of
data with the results from the Bormuth analysis of
the Proof of Evidence (POE) failing to show much
variation. As before, the scope for experimental
error is too great for such a small sample of words
as exists in a single paragraph of text only the
results with a more significant variation are
displayed below in Table
1.
