My writing is apparently in the range of most popular novels, and a person reading it would require either 8.72 years of schooling or be in the 5.79th grade in order to understand my writing. Unlike some people who are aiming to make their blogs more readable (i.e words with less syllables or less words per sentence), I'm happy to have writing that appeals to people with a more intellectual bent. Heh. What do you expect from someone who rates The Guardian and The Economist as their favourite periodicals?
