...with what is said in this. Another thing I would personally add is that proper nouns can throw off a readability score, and that sometimes you even get an unduly complex score if you have complex terms, but define them Purplebackpack89 04:58, 12 June 2010 (UTC) beat the limeys![reply]

I agree as well, but I think that readability tests still should be used along with common sense. The reading level, however, should be increased to the 9th. or 10th. grade instead of 8th. grade to compansate for the false-positives and the errors in the system.

I think they have their uses, but I wrote this after some people were using them as the only factor, and weren't willing to look past scores that might initially look unfavorable. Kansan (talk) 22:14, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
