Interesting, I never got into the details on “reading level”. Yeah, sounds like this should be used to score readability of text, not someone’s intelligence or education level, as was originally intended. I’ve read many military manuals, and can vouch for their ease of reading, so thanks to DoD for making that a requirement.
“Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss comes close, averaging 5.7 words per sentence and 1.02 syllables per word, with a grade level of −1.3.”
I just find that funny.
