The Homunculus

steve_icon_medium.jpgThe Omnibrain is a psychology graduate student at an online university. He hopes that the three weeks and $29.95 that he is spending on his Ph.D. will get him a job at a Tier 1 research university. Do online universities have postdocs? Ok...just kidding, The Omnibrain is a real graduate student at a real school somewhere in the continental United States - or maybe Europe.

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?
