I use the readability thing from time to time to help me with the
proofreading process.  If the system shows a low score, I use that to
re-read what it's pointing out and evaluate if the problem is really a
problem or just a difference in style or tone.  I don't rely on it but
use it as another tool in helping me do my job better. /g

My thanks go out to those who responded on the MS Word readability
issue. Frankly it is too new to me to decide one way or the other.
Right now I see it as a useful tool for counting words, sentences and
paragraphs, etc. Proofreading is a 'must do' chore, regardless. But I
must say that I was 'sort of' delighted to see that my supervisor's last
draft of an official policy statement scored lower than a similar
document I had drafted!
