How loaded the writing isLanguage Load Language Load is one number from 0 to 100 for how loaded a report’s writing is. Lower is plainer. 0 is a plain report, the facts said plainly; 100 is loaded throughout. It reads the writing, not the events, so a plain report of a sad story can still score low. Most reports are written fairly plainly and score under 20; the differences are in the loaded words, the drama and the claims nobody puts their name to.

Not scored: we only receive a 40-word summary of this report.
