So i'm screwing around writing a random 8 page paper, and I find out that it can tell you your writing level and how easy it is to read your paper. Its a old, simple, easily cheatable algorithm. But its quite interesting and still used as a metric in school systems etc. For example, patents and certain laws must meet a Flesch-Kincaid readability score and grade level threshold.
