It's a website grader. Check out DU.

1. That is interesting.

DU's readability is given as 'high school+3' and I couldn't help but look at some of the less savory right-wing counterparts out there.
:rofl:
Enjoy that elementary school reading level, folks!

2. That drives me crazy

Consultants telling content providers to "dumb down" their language. And this website grader does the same thing. :grr:

When did it get to be conventional wisdom that we simplify ideas and writing?

I think what we should be instilling in people, even those who don't finish high school, is the desire to continually engage with harder material than their present level. How else do you get smarter over time.
