                 reprint, Janice (Ginny) Redish offers a literature
                 review that reveals many technical weaknesses of
                 readability formulas (when compared to direct usability
                 testing with typical readers): they were developed for
                 children's school books, not adult technical
                 documentation; they ignore between-reader differences
                 and the effects of content, layout, and retrieval aids
                 on text usefulness; they emphasize countable features
                 at the expense of more subtle contributors to text
                 comprehension.",
