Here is some readability score thing that I found out about from twobitme. I plugged in the text of my last journal entry, and got these results:


Flesch-Kincaid Reading Ease: 54
Ideally, web page text should be around the 60 to 80 mark on this scale. The higher the score, the more readable the text.

Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level: 10
Ideally, web page text should be around the 6 to 7 mark on this scale. The lower the score, the more readable the text.

Gunning-Fox Index: 18
Ideally, web page text should be between 11 and 15 on this scale. The lower the score, the more readable the text. (Anything over 22 should be considered the equivalent of post-graduate level text).


I also plugged in an edited version of an Oz story that I wrote, and came up with:


Flesch-Kincaid Reading Ease: 59
Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level: 8
Gunning-Fox Index: 14


I would imagine that everyone who wanted to take my quiz has already done so, but I'm going to wait until Wednesday to post the answers. So, if you haven't yet, hurry up and take it!

Oh, and I finished my state taxes today, which is good.
