What reading level is The American Engineers in France book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As the result of the war it has taken many additions to its vocabulary of which undoubtedly a large proportion will be permanent. In this process of change even the alphabet did not escape. We are all aware that several of the letters have a similar sound, leading both to confusion and error, when spoken over the telephone. Some British genius, whose name ought to be recorded, removed the difficulty by giving new names to those letters that might be mis- taken. Thus ACK stood for A, Beer for B,... Don for D, Emma for M, Pip for P, Esse for S, Toe for T, Vic for V, while the last letter of the alphabet was always called by its regular English name Zed. The other let- ters retained their accustomed sounds. So thoroughly practical was this innovation that it was adopted by the American telephone operators in large part, and would have become universal had the war lasted longer and more men had become familiar with it.
The British always, and the Americans usually, abbre- viated all names to the initial letters.
