I removed the "rough guide" to US grade levels because it was inconsistent and not needed with the table. I also fixed the ages in the table and made first and second grade not be combined because the user who combined them did not provide a reason for doing so. I removed college professor from the table because I'm unsure what age that should correspond to, but if someone does know they can add it in there. |

Line 9:
where ''characters'' is the number of letters and numbers, ''words'' is the number of spaces, and ''sentences'' is the number of sentences, which were counted manually by the typist when the above formula was developed. Non-integer scores are always rounded up to the nearest whole number, so a score of 10.1 or 10.6 would be converted to 11.
Unlike the other indices, the ARI, along with the Coleman–Liau, relies on a factor of characters per word, instead of the usual syllables per word. Although opinion varies on its accuracy as compared to the syllables/word and complex words indices, characters/word is often faster to calculate, as the number of characters is more readily and accurately counted by computer programs than syllables. In fact, this index was designed for real-time monitoring of readability on electric typewriters.<ref>{{cite journal
