I guess these folks think I should use small words so I don't lose all y'all. Or something. So how does this language robot deal with that classic of the English language - where the words are almost entirely of simple Angle-Saxon stock, not fancy and frenchified? You know,
this one:
Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
Seems it's all fancy and frenchified, or something:

Easier to read than Churchill. Not bad, not bad. History shall be kind to my blog, for I intend to write it ...
Good grief. Sam Clemens wept. And Steve Jobs would have had them all shot.
