Science of the Invisible has run some blogs about education through two of the standard readability assessors. For some reason, this blog got included. The results: According to the Flesch Reading Ease Score, I write at the lowest grade level (8.14). Jeez, I'd better write longer epistolary sentences, with an increased emphasis on epistemic autoimmunization, if I am to achieve — as I believe is valedictory and phenomenological — the ambulatory mastication that is providential, scatalogical, omnigorgantillious, and extrasartorially empathemistical for a phrenobombillicious monostochastically pseudopodomonious intralogomaniacasupplicant such as me.

Show off.
Didn't your mother tell you not to run with assessors?

Well no wonder. If you want to walk and chew gum at the same time, then you won't be able to focus on the task at hand.

I ran my LJ through one of these things and was surprised to see I wrote at the elementary level. But, after some introspection and analysis (of my LJ), I decided this was a) accurate and b) a Good Thing. I tend to make my points clear in my online writing by being less of a lingual showoff. My e-mail messages are certainly on a different level from my website postings because I know who my audience will be.
So my concept is, we tend to tailor our online content to what we imagine is our likely audience. However chauvinistic that image may be. But the readers don't know that! They just know they can read and unnerstand the content!
