From the supplier: Oral utterances exhibit a higher degree of crispness than written material. This was measured using the Crispness Index, which is derived by dividing the number of E-Prime sentences by the total number of sentences. E-Prime sentences refer to those without any form of the verb 'to be.' It is defined with the semantic equation E'= E - e, where E refers to the one to two million English words and e represents the conjugated forms of the verb 'to be.'
