Of course, the fun thing to do with the Hemingway.app is to paste in some of Hemingway's own writing and see how it fairs. I just pasted in the opening few paragraphs of "The Old Man and The Sea" --which is generally recognised as one of his most "simplified" in writing style and got the following resutls:
2 uses of passive voice, meeting the goal of 2 or fewer.
0 phrases have simpler alternatives.
3 of 11 sentences are hard to read.
2 of 11 sentences are very hard to read.
So 5 out of 11 sentences were "hard" or "very hard" to read. Oh dear, Ernest. Back to writing school for you!
