1. Non-transitory computer storage having stored thereon executable code that directs a computer system to perform a method of automatic text evaluation, the method comprising: detecting whether a particular readability issue exists in text, notwithstanding that the text may be otherwise grammatically correct; scanning for at least one sign that indicates the possible occurrence or absence of the readability issue, the at least one sign comprising the term “that”; and implementing correction logic for correcting the issue, the correction logic specifying a proposed edit, the edit comprising one or some combination of the following: deleting text; adding text; and/or reordering text, wherein scanning for at least one sign further comprises scanning for “that” as a primary sign and scanning for additional signs; and wherein scanning for additional signs comprises scanning for one or some combination of the following: “what”, “who”, “it,” and/or a “to be” verb; the method further comprising: determining if the word immediately preceding “that” is a “to be” verb and if so, determining if the term “it” immediately precedes the “to be” verb and if so, determining if the term “what” or the term “who” immediately precedes “it” and conveying the proposed edit to a user through a computer interface.
