Out of curiosity, I entered a poem that had no punctuation. It's readability was 0% and its grade level was 0%, too.

For the record,
WW

I fed it that old Mad Magazine classic:

It's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide.


The spell checker wondered about rozzer but I got a Flesch Reading Ease of 86.7 and a Flesch-Kinkaid Grade Level of 3.6.

My WordPerfect, with its default language set to UK English, acceptd rozzer without blinking and gave it a Flesch score of 96.

Flesch Reading Ease of 86.7

Flesch score of 96.

And I thought the Flesch thangie was just based on word count/sentence length and word length. Must is they's different in UK English nor what they is in USn English.

Immediately require the student to obtain and read "The Elements of Style" by Strunk and White before writing another word!
