Re: readability scores
While I normally consult as a validation TW, I took (and left) a permanent position a couple of years ago at one the Big Pharma companies as a Medical Program Documentation Specialist writing Informed Consent Forms to be given to prospective participants in clinical trials. The docs could have no more than a 6th grade Flesch-Kincaid score
Fun fact: The 6th-grade reading level is considered to be the lowest level for which written instructions are appropriate.
Not sorry for the late response :-P
