The BLOG readability test
From Jody
Know what? I think this is a good thing. I’ve read something about this:
To simplify text so that all readers can understand, write at a level aimed at sixth grade. The Flesch Readability Scale (found on newer versions of Microsoft Word and WordPerfect) and Gunning’s Fog Index are two well-known tests of readability.
Calculations based upon word structure can tell you a fair bit about the text on your site, most notably the readability of your copy. A lot of sites have text on them that is simply too advanced for their users, which is as useful as having no text at all.
It is therefore usually a good idea to check the copy on your website as thoroughly as possible. Spelling and grammar should be checked as a matter of course. You should also check how difficult your text is to read. If a user cannot easily understand what they are reading, they will leave the site and find one they can comprehend.
So even if you’re talking about something as advanced as a vehicle tracking, you still need to keep in mind that all readers can understand what you’re trying to say.
