Brad Borevitz created this neat little program to analyze the State of the Union addresses given by US Presidents from 1790 to 2006:
For each State of the Union Address, the analyzer also measures the Flesch-Kincaid score, a controversial yet popular readibility index to suggest at which grade level in an American school for which the text is appropriate. The lowest score (grade level 7.1) was George W. Bush's State of the Union address on February 27, 2001. Link (via Metafilter) |
