Description
First and foremost credit goes to the author of the book The Writer's Little Helper that I took this awesome lesson from and put my own twist to. I swear by it and according to his best-sellers and others, it will never lead you astray. The author is James V. Smith, Jr. aka John Harriman and therefore a huge credit and (c) rights to him.Smith, Jr., James V.. The Writer's Little Helper. Cincinatti, Ohio: Writer's Digest Books, 2006.

Yep, I don't spellcheck and 4 am in the morning, hehe and you're not supposed to notice! It actually, seriously, seems to be my keyboard on my Photoshop PC, lol.

Yes... I know a quote that goes like this "To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer." -it's anonymous. So yes...blame the computer...

k... lemme find it... aha!
For WordPerfect, using the Grammatik feature:
Words per sentence (average) = 15 maximum
Syllables per word (average) = 1.5 maximum
Passive Voice = 5% maximum
Sentence complexity = 30 maximum
vocabulary complexity = 15 maximum
For the scoring of your work you'd use this equation...
(Sentence Complexity + Vocabulary Complexity) - 100 = score
Hope that helps

Wow, thanks a lot. I always try to make them pretty since the content is usually pretty frustrating stuff to learn and master....
