# Out of date: How to write for SF.gov

[We’ve moved our guidance for SF.gov](https://sfgovdt.jira.com/wiki/spaces/SFGOV/pages/1810038785/Writing%2Bfor%2BSF.gov%2Bstyle%2Bguide). This page is out of date. 

Everything on SF.gov must be written at or below a 5th-grade reading level. Writing simply avoids discrimination and misunderstanding. It helps all San Franciscans use our site.

You can paste your text into the [Hemingway Editor](http://www.hemingwayapp.com/) to check readability.
