The Reading Level of This Blog is Junior High

Category: Chatter
Posted on: November 18, 2007 10:06 AM, by The Omnibrain

I'm sure this comes as no surprise to my readers but this blog has been rated as having a Junior High Reading level. You know what though?! I'm proud of that. I'm happy that I'm not a scientist who can only write bland big worded journal articles and use words like affinage, nugatory, pukka, or bouleversement. Now that I've ruined the readability of the blog by using the previously mentioned words I have to admit that I would get angry if I were reading a journal article and found big words as well. In any case... here's the official rating (before I added the big words):

Muahaha, my blog is "college (postgrad)" - not bad considering I'm not even there yet.

Nice find.

Geez, my knitting blog is "High School." I would exect fourth graders to be able to read what I write.

Hmmm.... Both Tmz.com and gawker.com are rated as "Jr. High", but bestweekever.tv requires the reading comprehension of an undergrad?
