Shows word and sentence counts plus a readability analysis of the post 
currently being edited using three different readability measurements.
Readability analysis is an attempt to show how difficult a text is to read. 
There are several methods of doing readability analysis. The most popular 
methods are used here. The Flesch and Flesch-Kincaid methods use formulas based 
on the average number of words per sentence and the average number of syllables 
per word. The Gunning-Fog method uses a formula based on the average number of 
words per sentence and the percentage of “hard” words (words with 3 or more 
syllables) in the passage.
Both the Gunning-Fog and the Flesch-Kincaid give a score that is the number of 
years of education the reader must have completed to understand the text. 
Different types of writing calls for different scores. Technical subjects may 
require a higher level of education so a higher Fog or Kincaid score is 
acceptable. Informal writing may try for a score in the 7-10 range. The Flesch 
score is a percentage. The higher the value, the better the readability.
