Me Fail Englist? That unpossible!

Read the article for the metrics on majors books and some of the posts written by the author...which runs counter to the statement below.

Is Tenth-Grade Level Obama Too Smart or Too Stupid for America? - The Awl:

"Using simple language clearly and well is the mark of a sophisticated writer and speaker, rather than the reverse. If the President resorts to simple language, maybe that isn’t because he wants to make sure that the dumbest among us will get what the hell he is saying; maybe it’s because the simplest language is also the most beautiful, and the most effective."
