Flesch-Kincaid Grade 4.58


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.

*long and mean-spirited post up ahead. if th'art easily offended, turn back...TURN BAAAACK !! before it's too late.

was waiting for my hair to dry and surfing through some blogs, when i realized that some people can be really really stupid. and i'm not talkin' ordinary stupid here, folks. i'm talking jump-off-a-cliff-together-with-boy/girlfriend-if-they-promosed-to-love-you-forever kind of stupid. ya. like dumber than rocks. anyhoo, this made me recall a conversation i had with my cousin stoo in a bus a couple of years ago. the gist of it was something like this (with my own modifications here and there):

that everybody, when they reach the age of 16 should take a test of stupidity (or lack thereof). the scope of the test should be wide-ranging, from etiquette, to general iq, to e.q. to all sorts of things. kindof like an emode personality test, but more legit. and then from there, a panel of judges made up of people from all different parts of society sit down and judge whether or not the candidate is suitable for life in everyday society.

those who are too stupid, or immature, or generally unsuitable to be seen by the general public, will then be put in a zoo where they will be "rehabilitated", and then maybe let free after taking the test again. if they fail repeatedly, then they shall be like the village idiots. sometimes useful, but usually just there so that other people can throw things at them. included in this losers-of-society category shall be able-bodied dole-bludgers, big brother housemates, cApZtArDzZz, rednecks, people who refuse to use deodorant after several warnings to do so...in other words, people who are blatantly annoying even though they know better.

of course, it's not going to be completely cruel. people with disabilities, or mental retardation, or broken arms, or gimp-legs aren't going to be put in zoos. all the more reason they should be in loving company. hippies are currently a borderline case. if they do nothing but toke up all day and smell of cheap incense without doing anything useful, then they can be put in the zoo i guess. but if they are useful and actively try to save whales, or grow weed, then they can live next door to my place. or maybe not too near but near enough, because they might still be less-inclined to wash. and also sometimes, i'm not very environmentally-friendly.

so have a think and see if there's anybody you reckon should be in this zoo. three solid referals plus a thorough background check can see that special somebody fast-tracked on their journey to the zoo of shame!

happy easter kith and kin!

may you all not pass out from eating too much chocolate, or suffer the sugar crash so huge
that you are incapacitated for days. however, if any of you wish to go on a sugar-induced
rampage and paint the town in many vibrant colours with pants on your head, do send me the
photos !! unless i manage to clip them out of the newspapers and scan them in myself.
mm took a quizilla quiz. in keeping with my inherent geekiness and also my anime insanity (though not yet descending to cosplay) ..
