Wrong formula!

[edit]

It seems that the formula stated on this page for calculating the Flesch-Kincaid readability score does not match the formula stated in the source document being quoted!

The quoted source has a plus sign after the first term of the equation, whilst the wiki page has a minus sign after the first term of the equation. Kind regards, SR. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Begbie1975 (talkcontribs) 09:20, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Should it make sense?

[edit]

"Cwm fjord-bank glyphs vext quiz." Is presented as a pangram (a sentence with all the letters) but it hardly seems relevant to a discussion of an American English or even generalised English reading score when "cwm" is Welsh and the sentence is just a bunch of convenient words, and that also seems to excluded it from being a heterogram" since both are forms of sentence and sentence communicates something. 188.31.40.73 (talk) 20:56, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed that, as it's unsourced. And yes, it does look like "just a bunch of convenient words". Martinevans123 (talk) 21:13, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
