At the risk of sounding too DK-ish...

It is really, really hard to write for a lower grade level or reading comprehension.  Back at the old job I had to write a curriculum for an on-line parenting course and I was constantly having to revise my work because I was making it too hard for the average parent to read.  I think we were supposed to shoot for a 5th or 6th grade level if I remember correctly.  Hats off to those who can do it easily.

Ah, so he DID write shit like this way back in 2010... the more you know.
