I ran your comment through a word analyzer, and you will be happy to know your text scored at a 12th grade level!

Unfortunately, that means that most Americans will be unable to comprehend what you wrote. Sort of a catch-22 I suppose, although it may provide a natural filtering device to filter out the idiots, I suppose.

Does it top out at 12th grade? Just wondering if there's room for improvement on that tool alone.
