Comics Ate My Brain got a Fog of 10.31, Flesch of 66.21, and Flesch-Kinkaid of 7.21. Yikes!

Only one response seems appropriate:

“I am so smart! S-M-R-T!”

I redid my page, because – let’s face it – I don’t believe I scored that high. My new scores for Blog This, Pal are

Gunning Fog Index 8.95
Flesch Reading Ease 72.04
Flesch-Kincaid Grade 6.14

I’m really glad – if I’m writing as if I’m writing scholarly papers, then I’m in trouble.

Oh, and Mike – try using “sociopathic”, “naltrexone” and “neuropathic” in your blog. That’s 3 words x $10 words = $30 you owe me.

I got a 8.59 on the Fog Index. I have no idea what that means. My Flesh-Kinkaid grade is 5.72. Again, no idea. Less than 10% of my words have three or more syllables, though, so I’ll have to bug Dave Fiore for his thesaurus. (Just kidding, Dave!)

Eep, Spatula Forum ranks 8.45 on the Fog scale. Me am smarter than me thought.

Woo-hoo. Dark, But Shining is cranking along at a 6.82 grade level (With a Fog level of 9.67, which puts us alongside…most popular novels? I guess that’s swell.)

Of course, 5.82 of those grade levels can be chalked up to Kevin and Sam…

that’s a really interesting tool Scott–and I quite agree (despote Motime’s obnoxious rating!) that the ideal would be to attack the really complex subjects with sentences that just about anyone could read… this is why I have to get out of academia!

Darn that Mag! His 2.36 Fog Index writing is dragging down my 8.36 cred. I am never going to get an invite to the Algonquin Roundtable at this rate.

I think just mentioning Liefeld knocks it down 2 grades

Near-Mint Heroes scores:

Gunning Fog Index 6.30
Flesch Reading Ease 80.37
Flesch-Kincaid Grade 3.70

I do have my very eloquent posts about the Serenity trailer and Rob Leifeld
on the first page at the moment so that could deter my score from being higher.
