Fun to manipulate the results these tests.
Posting it here gets a range of relatively high scores. Putting it on the Sun/Express/Mail etc websites might get a very different range.

A journalist friend of mine said that it can take more skill to write for the tabloid press
- compared to writing for the broadsheets. Everything has to be stripped down to the point, then steered toward the editorial goals, whereas there's no economy of language required to write for the FT, the Telegraph, or the Gaurdian. Still got your editorial goals though.

Yes, having to be brief and most easily understood can be quite a task.
I think being verbose is often an attempt to sound clever.
