I have seen some different article on hybrids, always an interesting topic.

I don’t really know how to change the reading level of something I would write. I pretty much just write how I’ve been taught. If I had to guess though, my reading level will probably come out above USA Today, closer to WSJ.

I think it’s fine to have it at a higher reading level, hopefully I’m not alone there. I don’t want to be a part of the dumbing down of America.
