I knew this one! For a long time I did not like using Word as back when, I was a WordPerfect user. Learning to use Word changed my mind over the years. Word is a useful tool if you take the time to study and tweak the darn thing. The biggest problem is if you use words that are spelled wrong on purpose. In this case, when you run the spell check, it can get long and tiresome. “Grand sugars” and “OH-pinion” never pass the spell check. My bad. Along with the Flesch Reading Ease test, you can get a character and word count, pretty nifty when writing articles. When you need a 500-word article as filler, it comes in handy. This little entry came up as a 5.2 grade level. I should have not used any first person statements (like in this sentence), and possibly (shoulda, coulda, woulda) some longer sentences with more adult wording. I’ll try harder next time to come up to a grade level six. Maybe, if I feel like it… Verb I am so very proud of me. I knew this one!
