3rd page of
Oxford handbook of clinical medicine, on the "thinking about medicine" section, the author mentioned something about getting ur handwriting readible. Here's how he put it.
"Give video/written material with easy readibility. Flesch's formula measures this. F=206.835-(1.015 x ASL) - (84.6 x ASW) where ASL = average sentence length (number of words/number of sentences) and ASW = average number of syllables/word. 100 is very easy; aim for >70. F for the 1st paragrah of this page is 71 but paragraph 2 is much more complex. F=39, as calculated by MS word's automated Flesch score. It is sobering to see if you can re-edit to get a score of >70. Language Therapy Departments are leading the way here."
Of all this he could've just replace with a "write properly", it's interesting, like reading a novel. Loving it already.
