what it all means is:

• most of the words on this blog have only 1 syllable, and the average number of syllables on this entire page doesn't even hit the 1.5 mark. possibly not a good start, because that on its own puts me on the same level as a semi-literate turd-scraping from a bat's old shoe.

• that my flesch reading ease is 77.5%. this is some sort of algorithm that determines how easy it is to read my blog. this is not bad at all! well i think it's fantastic anyway. mean that um .. my blog makes for very egalitarian and equal opportunity reading &c &c.

• that because my gunning fog and flesch kincaid grade are 7.25 and 4.58 respectively, it would take roughly that many years of schooling to understand my blog. i dont know why there's a difference, but i'm also taking this as a good sign, because it means we at samuraibunny (theoretically) have the ability fuck children up from a fairly young age and ohhhh boy does it feel good to have that kind of power.

in fact, let me go revel in it for awhile...

right. now that's done, some smartarse out there is probably thinking at this very moment "bullshit lah, that just means your blog is extremely low-brow". but if you'll notice, 7.25 is a higher difficulty level than the bible (and also the tv guide, and mark twain, but let's discount that trifling detail, shall we?)*���. such publications are reaching-out-to-the-masses type things, so let's just all be positive and say "wow lynette, you really are a fantastic blogger", to which i will modestly take a bow and say "aww shucks, t'were nothin'".

so anyway, if you want to put your blog to this nifty non-quizzila test, follow the pretty linky !!

also, do bear in mind that there's a lot of things that this test doesn't take into account such as the way in which words are used. i.e. many monosyllabic words put together in an intelligent way are easier to read than multi/polysyllabic words strung together in a ridiculous and arbitrary fashion.

*i never knew mark twain was literature-lite. then again, i always saw mark twain books as being kinda on the snoring side of things.

��� asterisks...the blogger's footnote. one day soon, i shall have a nonsensical post about the evolution of the asterisk..just you wait and see.
