QuoteBut higher grade level doesn't necessarily mean better sentence, Payack said. He pointed to Palin's second-to-last sentence in the debate, which the formula put at a grade level of 18.3:"What I would do, also, if that were ever to happen, though, is to continue the good work he is so committed to of putting government back on the side of the people and get rid of the greed and corruption on Wall Street and in Washington," Palin said.what on earth does that mean ?

Maybe this hockey mom has taken one too many pucks to the noodle.

QuoteOriginally posted by: daveangelDoes America's sweetheart eats shoots and leaves or does she eat, shoots and leaves ?You garbled that.Perhaps you meant:"Does America's sweetheart eat shoots and leaves or does she eat, shoot and leave ?"or more likely:"do we know if she eats shoots and leaves or eats, shoots and leaves ?"
