I'm still trying to get my head around a second grade reading level. Kids
only learn to read in 1st grade, so that means no multi-syllabic words
whatsoever. See Dick? See Dick type?

So, the requirement called for maintenance doc at a
second grade reading level. Was the doc going to be
tested? If so, wouldn't they have to throw out the
test if you handed them a bunch of illustrations? Or
was there already a test for the comprehensibility of
illustrations?

Come to think of it, IS there a comprehensibility test
for illustrations?
