That last line bothers me. My writing is at a 5th grade level? Am I some kind of moron? I mean, I know I've never written a novel before, but I would have thought my writing to be a little higher than that. I guess I was wrong. Wait, let me try an experiment...
Okay, I pasted the text into a new document and took out the 5,010 words of dialog. Running statistics on this, I get Flesch Reading Ease 80.1 (slightly lower), Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level 5.4 (slightly higher).
Yep. I'm a writing dunce.
