Readability
I'm certainly not happy with my score on these few sentences:
​
The point was non-materialistic explanations. Your example had nothing to do with non-materialistic explanations. Frankly, even if the arm had been moved psychokinetically we'd not have evidence of non-materialistic explanations but of psychokinesis being material.
​
-10 for readability? Is it any wonder that I have no friends?
​
The world breaks everyone, and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those it cannot break, it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these, you can be sure that it will kill you too, but there will be no special hurry.

Re: Readability
Yes so you know anyone with a grade 10 or higher should be able to comprehend what you say.
​
The grade level was 18. The readability was 20 points below legalese. I guess you couldn't read it either.
​
AbE: The Horta, with "No kill I.", had a grade level 2 and an ease of reading of 90.
​
Edited by lyx2no, : Just thought it would be important to know that.
