I strive to be readable. I ran a small portion of writings I did (1763 sentences, 25,156 syllables...) recently to forums and such recently through a "readability" thing and this is what it came up with: Readability Formula Grade Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level 5.3 Gunning-Fog Score 7.6 Coleman-Liau Index 8.3 SMOG Index 6.3 Automated Readability Index 2.8 Average Grade Level 6.1 So, what I write, in theory, would be readable by an "average" (C student) US 6th grader by their second month of school. Or readable by a more advanced 5th grader or much advanced 4th grader. Of course, readability indexes must be taken with a grain of salt. They're mathematical and they are a very skeleton-view of readability, not taking many things into account. But still, it shows, to me, that I've thankfully been successful at my goal, which is, to the best of my ability try to keep my writing as clear as possible. This says nothing of style, vocabulary, clarity of logic and such. But it's something - at least until artificial intelligence text classifiers improve more. They have a VERY long way to go.
