On the subject of the readability scale, many people seem to think 1-5 signifies strength of transmission, as in "Reading you strength 5" - it doesn't.
5 = perfectly readable
4 = readable
3 = readable but with difficulty
2 = readable now and then
1 = unreadable
It is, for example, possible to have "readability 4 but a bit faint"
