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