Analysis!
For fun, I ran something I wrote through an online writing sample analyzer to check what the grade level was.

The Flesch Reading Ease Scale:
The Flesch score relies on the number of syllables and sentence lengths to determine the reading ease of the sample. The scale is comprised by taking the sentence length in words and multiplying it by 1.015. Next the number of syllables per 100 words is multiplied by 0.846. These two numbers are added together and their sum is then subtracted out of 206.8.
20 words per sentence with 1.5 syllables per word yields a Flesch score of 60 and is taken to be plain English. A score in the range of 60-70 corresponds to 8th/9th grade English level. A score between 50 and 60 corresponds to a 10th/12th grade level. Below 30 is college graduate level. To give you a feel for what the different levels are like, most states require scores from 40 to 50 for insurance documents.
The Fog Scale:
The Fog scale is similar to the Flesch scale in that it compares syllables and sentence lengths. 'Foggy' words are words that contain 3 or more syllables. The fog score is then composed by taking the percent of foggy words multiplied by 100 added to the sentence length. That result is than multiplied by .4
A fog score of 5 is readable, 10 is hard, 15 is difficult, and 20 is very difficult.
The Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level :
The Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level heuristic indicates that the average student in the grade level produced by the scale can read the text. This score takes the average sentence length in words and multiplies it by .39. It then takes the average number of syllables per word and multiples it by 11.8. It sums these scores and then subtracts 15.59 from it.
