I came across this post while on a random Stumble session. On there you will find a little program that can crawl an RSS feed and give a reading ease value. Point it at your blog’s feed and see what it says. My blog has the following results
- Syllables per word: 1.49
- Words per sentence: 19.50
- Flesch-Kincaid Reading Ease: 60.90
- Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level: 9.61
- Gunning-Fog Index: 20
which probably means half of you can’t understand what I write, since supposedly you need 20 years of school education to understand this. I think it just shows I’m not the most organised of writers when I put things in my diary. I do have a habit of just typing away with no real planning or ideas.
