Oh definitely. Ultimately, I think it's a bit of a questionable
   theory; the readability connected to sentence length and
   syllables. But it's what they use in thousands of schools in the
   USA to assess appropriate reading level and kids are placed in
   different classes and graded depending on these results so if
   it's good enough for the US Education system, I suppose I can
   use it too. ['cause even putting kids in grades the way they do
   is kinda their thing tongue emoticon ] But as far as scientific
   validity? Well, I could unpeel that onion gladly but I'd have to
   take into account the concept of 'averaging' people and such
   first....and go from there smile emoticon
