The Equator runs across these highlands, a hundred miles to the north, and the farm lay at an altitude of over six thousand feet. I had a farm in Africa at the foot of the Ngong Hills. The first was the lovely opening of Out of Africa by Isak Dinisen (Karen Blixen): I decided to enter two of my favorite pieces of English prose to see how they rated. It should evaluate you (grade level, quality of writing, and types of errors) as you write, or you can hit “write” if that doesn’t work to see how it fares. Just go to the site, either cut the prose on the page or paste your own over it. You can check either your own writing or that of others. And how does Papa rate? Mediocre at best: a passage from “My Old Man” was rated “bad,” while passages from “The Old Man and the Sea” (a nice starting paragraph) and “For Whom the Bell Tolls” were judged just “OK.” Apparently Hemingway wasn’t such a good prose stylist, at least according to his eponymous app. Now, however, it’s become notorious, for the people at Language Log have actually run Hemingway’s prose through the Hemingway program.

It’s supposed to help you learn to write better. The program at issue is the Hemingway App, which has apparently achieved some renown for being able to parse writing and suss out the awkwardness, the passive voices, the over-use of adverbs, and so on. Oh well, another technical failure: the inability of computer programs to judge the quality of writing.
