Thanks! I didn’t know that about Reader’s Digest but it totally makes sense. Cool!

Yeah the ACA issue is interesting, isn’t it? No wonder healthcare is so confusing!

Finding a way to get an idea across so most people can understand what you’re saying can be considered the writer’s talent.

Congratulations Greg, and if you don’t want snow, don’t look out your window this morning! 🤗

This scale seems very useful to copywriters who are aiming to reach the masses. And LOL that the Affordable Care Act ranks so high. I see this as a problem. Don’t the masses needed to understand that important piece of legislature? The people who drafted it need to come back and read your article. 🙂
