<p>No. It is grammatical to end a sentence with a preposition.</p>
<p>
Silverturtle already covered this, I just realized, but I was going to say that the “rules” about sentence=ending prepositions are based on Latin. However, most guides to style would recommend avoiding “What […] at?” as it usually grates on the ear and because “At what […]?” is usually not pedantry up with which readers will not put.</p>
<p>The gender one said I was male every time but one. DX</p>
<p>^It just judges whether or not your writing style is male. I realized later that we’re not allowed to use personal pronouns in our writing though, which means everyone at my school would have a masculine writing style.</p>
<p>I used a paper I wrote for school.</p>

<p>I think this would be more interesting if we actually linked to our writing, as complexity [which is really what flesch-kincaid measures] isn’t necessarily indicative of superior writing.</p>
<p>I don’t think it means to indicate that higher scores = superior writing anyway. Linking to writing would just make things more subjective.</p>
<p>The Gender Genie’s interesting…calls my private blog posts female, my school essays male, and my poems a mix of male and female (usually female if it’s a poem addressed to someone).</p>
<p>My most recent poem:</p>
<p>Minuscule fragments, ruins
of the past present
themselves to me, one
by one, by one,
the image, the emotion
of the moment returning
slowly, too slowly,
to my memory,
and isolated,
so sadly alone
as I seek for
the memory
of what came before
what brought about
that moment that
I now have before
me once again. So
alone like the figure
standing exposed
in one of those
Friedrick paintings,
surrounded by clouds
that would, in a
Correggio world, carry them
away to an even
more mysterious place
on wings of Aurora’s chariot
Reni and Guercino
return to me now,
but these figures
alone on the mountain
and by the sea
and in the burgeoning forest
are so astounding
as these memories
the moment greater
than the journey as
far as we are concerned
for we have no knowledge:
We do not look for
what cannot be found
and my memories are
fated to stay alone,
moments of sadness
and elation,
inside my mind
never to leave,
never to be accompanied.
Ere the emotion
is lost, I must save it
Somewhere; a poem.</p>

<p>That’s a good point. However, I do think that a measure of complexity is to be expected in superior writing.</p>

<p>I wonder if it has something to do with how long the sentences are? Or is it word choice?</p>

<p>Hm, according to the Gender Genie feminine keywords are
</p>
<p>Masculine keywords are </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I wonder what this means. I guess girls are more conditional, moralize, and talk about themselves more.</p>
<p>

<p>^If four out of five samples yield the same gender identity, then the results from your sample are reliable. They aren’t valid. =)</p>
