PS el re snail snot for brains:

As a copywriter for ad agencies (several) in my early career, and in mass communication classes (including journalism) in college, we were taught to write (consumer target market as opposed to biz-to-biz, obviously) copy based on a 7th grade education level. This was in the 70s.

Based on what I've seen around SI -- assuming this demographic is more moneyed (affluent) than the great unwashed masses in general -- I'm thinking the assumed education level bar should be lowered -- perhaps 4th or 5th grade? <ages 8-9)?

Have you checked out a new board here? Based on "loose/lose?" LOL:
