Introduction
Word length and phrase length influence the ease of reading and understanding of a given text. Short words are usually more common (Zipf's law). Short sentences require less abstraction ability to understand. The readability analysis could be useful to make a text better, augmenting its accessibility.
Why have we developed this?
The readability index tells us how easy a given text is to understand.
A well-written text is effective, easy to understand and quick to read.
This index helps us understand the text's complexity in order to better schedule the activities of translators and revisers.
More than ever, written information, especially in the Internet, must be direct and well structured.
This analysis can help achieve both goals.

-
I've always found wise (and sometimes not so wise) quotes really useful, both within the classroom with students and as a way of introducing a topic when writing materials. I've used lots of different websites to find quotes over the years, but iWise is certainly about to become my new favourite as it seems to have taken wise quotes to a new level.
