Applet
------

This applet prints out an analysis of any selected text.
The idea is to give a quantitative indication of how
easy the text is to understand.

Two popular measures are Robert Gunning's Fog Index and
the Flesch Reading Ease (100 = easiest, 70-80 = average)

The "ideal" Fog Index level is 7 or 8. A level above
12 indicates the writing sample is too hard for most people to read.
