Frequently Asked Questions
What is an optimal average sentence length for web content?
For clear web writing and general audiences, an average sentence length of 14 to 18 words is considered ideal for high retention and comprehension.

The parser verifies that periods are followed by whitespace and uppercase characters or paragraph breaks rather than immediate digits (e.g. 3.1415).
