I saw this in Tumblr years ago and it's been living in my head. I've never been able to find it again so I remade it myself.

Apart from exams, CEFR is a useful framework.

Language is immense and learning it can be overwhelming.

When we say that we speak a language, it's really, what can I do in that language, what am I able to talk about.

CEFR can help us say, I want to talk be able to talk about this, but not that.

I think CEFR level, due to the quality of the definitions for each level and the fact that it has a range, makes a better readability standard than Flesch-Kincaid.

A good score, 90-100, is "very easy to read, easily understood by an 11-year-old". Doesn't work for banking/insurance product info.
No author so this could have been written by a bot, but…

judging the "readability" of 347K PhD abstracts written btw 1812 and 2023 based on Flesch test which measures word and sentence length & targets 4th grade is ridiculous and a collosal waste of time.

Article includes a woman scholar who was attacked on the dying platform X because of her dissertation on olfactory smell.

PhD's are demonstrations of and additions to current knowledge, often in very specialized areas. To call a dissertation "illegible" bc a 4th grader can't read it is so ignorant.

remember when SEO ruined most of the internet the first time well in case you hadn't realized the internet is being ruined in new ways now trying to figure out what to put where online so people asking chatgpt for best protein powder or investment company or movie or bread brand get a certain answer
I meet adults who are frustrated by the inability of young people to google things how we did at their age, seems to be from losing touch with how it's all trash now. our lives either don't need it as often or we take for granted we gradually learned to work around slop as it festered

media coverage of this is already as pathetic as you might expect, usually failing to mention:

the FCC has no authority over the UK's BBC

the scandal was created by right wing media

the year-old BBC edits fall outside limits of UK defamation law

PBC, NPR never aired the documentary
Trump's censor in chief at the FCC, Brendan Carr, just sent a letter to the heads of BBC, NPR and PBS informing them he's launching a "news distortion" probe into the BBC's editing of a documentary on Trump's Jan. 6 activities.

Here it is:

Just had a little LOL moment. The source of this scandal is people cheating on the electronic time clocks that were installed after the last OT scandal, which had their wires were all mysteriously cut.
