Mean Dead Guy App Says You Don't Write Well

The new Hemingway App site yells at you for using long words, adverbs, long sentences, complex structures, and passive voice. I ran a post I wrote about “The Real World” through it, because I always thought ol’ Ernie would really enjoy gabbing at length about a show that is seriously not even good, and here’s what I got:

7 of 44 sentences are hard to read.

16 of 44 sentences are very hard to read.

14 adverbs. Aim for 3 or less.

11 words or phrases can be simpler.

11 uses of passive voice. Aim for 9 or less.

It’s kind of a dickish website but, like, so was Hemingway.
