I'll trade you my English language complicator/mixmaster for your Wayback Machine. -- I don't need one. I can write at many levels of complexity, and pick the one appropriate for the audience. Here, for example, I try to write prose that measures Grade Level 6 with a Reading Ease Score in the low 80's on the Flesch-Kincaid scale. Those are the scores that used to be used as optimum on the copy desks of most big city newspapers. My guess is that FauxNews strives for Grade Levels 4-5, with a Reading Ease score in the mid-90's...about the same as the Sunday comics. |
