Google Docs – Readability Level of a Document

While writing an essay today, I wanted to check the wordcount of the paper (under tools>wordcount or Ctrl+Shift+C). Well, there was more to the report than just plain wordcount. On top of comparing the selected part of the text to the whole document, Google Docs, apparently, can also give you the grade level?readability?index of your work.

This might be handy, you never know when someone will ask you what the Flesch Reading ease of your document :)
