All that does is make it extremely poorly written because of "sixth" followed by a compound noun instead of the misplaced hyphenation for a compound adjective.

What you basically just said is "it's not grammatically incorrect in that way, it's even more grammatically incorrect to the point of being nonsensical in this other, more abstruse way."

6th-grade levels

It's not that hard

No shit. I was explaining to the person that thinks it should be "6th grade-levels" that would be even more nonsensical and grammatically incorrect.

For someone that seems to be critical of writing errors, you're shockingly bad at reading comprehension. All you are doing is quite literally repeating the sentiment of the initial comment in this thread.

It's not that hard.
