Apologies for any confusion. Hopefully, no one went out and bought a pangolin. 3/3

"Two errors out of two assertions." You can read it as "Two for two."

Given that the lower message includes 3/3, I'm not convinced that 2/2 means that even though it fits the context. I've noticed that when a message spans more than one tweet (because of the character limit), they get numbered, for example: 1/3, 2/3, 3/3. They are "message 1 of 3", "message 2 of 3" and "message 3 of 3".

Of course! I'm not a tweeter but I still should have noticed that. It shows up in text-messaging apps, too.
