Applet ------ This applet prints out an analysis of any selected text. The idea is to give a quantitative indication of how easy the text is to understand. Two popular measures are Robert Gunning's Fog Index and the Flesch Reading Ease (100 = easiest, 70-80 = average) The "ideal" Fog Index level is 7 or 8. A level above 12 indicates the writing sample is too hard for most people to read.
