  1. No.  But be warned: the putative "grade level" is really a function of the

    parameters included by whomever wrote the program.  When I worked

    for NCR, we had a program called "Writer's Workbench."  Among other

    things, it estimated the amount of schooling necessary to understand

    a book.  I once wrote a user's manual that "WW" claimed a reader

    would need 13 years of college to comprehend.  (This was largely

    because the chapter on error messages and their meanings was a

    long table made up of sentence fragments...that the program read as

    one horrendously long sentence.  And the longer the average sentence,

    the higher grade level assigned.)  Try finding a human to read your book.
