I am bumping this up. Anyone have an answer to wolfie's question?



I recently came across mention of the Gunning Fog Index.

What do you reckon that is ??

Apparently it was devised as an indicator of how difficult a passage of text is to read by giving it a score relating to the number of years of (US) education. But the formula is too simple-minded to assess all words properly, it seems. So nothing to do with weather (which I thought it might do before searching)  :)
