I read the headline and said "I don't even know what a Flesch-Kincaid test is." Then I read the article, and realized that I actually do use this test every day. TIL The Boomerang extension for Gmail applies a test, in the free version, to give you a readability grade level. I always find this scores me at 12+ and I try to do better (lower score), because I know that there's nobody reading my emails and I will have wasted my time, unless I make it short and to the point. And now I know the name of the test. Cool.
