It is preferred if you prepare your response in Word and upload the file.  Use spell and grammar check and have Word  check the document for readability before uploading (be advised that Word will not indicate an error if you use a word that is an anagram ("trail" instead of "trial") or a  homophone  see,  http://users.tinyonline.co.uk/gswithenbank/homophon.htm#T (Links to an external site.) ).  Please include the readability score  with your submission.

To insure that the settings in Word  will give you the readability statistics:

Go to "Word Options"--"Proofing"--"when correcting spelling and grammar in Word" (make sure all boxes are checked, especially "show readability statistics") writing style should be "grammar and style"-- finally in  "settings" check all boxes.
