As someone who led a large organization with many subordinates with varying responsibilities, let me say this:

As governor, she probably got 100 emails a day, and although some were informational and required no response... I'd wager that more than half of them did.

In such a position, lengthy emails are a waste of time.

My emails typically went something like: "Janet, please see Suzy to schedule a status update with me this week... 30 minutes max."

Short and to the point.

AOL Weird News brought samples to two writing analysts who independently evaluated 24,000 pages of the former governor’s emails. They came back in agreement that Palin composed her messages at an eighth-grade level, an excellent score for a chief executive, they said.

“I’m a centrist Democrat, and would have loved to support my hunch that Ms. Palin is illiterate,” said 2tor Chief Executive Officer John Katzman.

“However, the emails say something else. Ms. Palin writes emails on her Blackberry at a grade level of 8.5.

“If she were a student and showing me her work, I‘d say ’It’s fine, clear writing,’” he said, admitting that emails he wrote scored lower than Palin’s on the widely used Flesch-Kincaid readability test.
