<p>I love how we take this so seriously ^_^</p>
<p>Writing is srs business.</p>
<p>^Was that intended to be ironic with the whole “srs?”</p>
<p>[Internet</a> memes](<a href=“http://encyclopediadramatica.com/The_Internet_is_serious_business]Internet”>http://encyclopediadramatica.com/The_Internet_is_serious_business) are serious business.</p>
<p>Wow, surprisingly, my highest was from a APUSH DBQ I bs’d. beginning of junior year (rising senior now).</p>

<p>Wow, am I the lowest one on here? (with my 5.94?)</p>
<p>^^I take comfort in the fact that I shall understand that by the time I have 40.40 years of education, as implied by the GFI.</p>

<p>I just checked something by Faulkner. It put him at fifth grade level. This thing cannot be that accurate.</p>

<p>I found an excerpt [url=<a href=“http://people.cohums.ohio-state.edu/ryan3/faulkner_dilsey.pdf]here[/url”>http://people.cohums.ohio-state.edu/ryan3/faulkner_dilsey.pdf]here[/url</a>] that contained super-long sentences he wrote:</p>
<p>Words - Sentences - Fog Index - Flesch - Flesch-Kinscaid
295 _______ 4 _____ 34.25 _____ 5.22 ______ 30.85</p>
<p>This indicates 31 years of education to understand, as much encoding as a top-level government document, and an ease factor approaching 0. True? No;</p>
<p>I think even Faulkner doesn’t always write like that (or maybe he does…it’s been a while and I’ve only read one book of his), but yeah, this thing judges as mechanically as one would expect. It’s less accurate in extreme cases.</p>
<p>

<p>Nope, <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1065392169-post8.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1065392169-post8.html</a> xD</p>
<p>This relatively unremarkable introductory paragraph from an old Chemistry lab report yielded some oddly high results:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Gunning Fog 21.59</p>
<p>Flesch Reading Ease 25.41</p>
<p>Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level 15.99</p>
<p>The exact same passage with all periods replaced by commas yields these results:</p>
<p>Gunning Fog 51.89</p>
<p>Flesch Reading Ease -51.48</p>
<p>Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level 45.53</p>
<p>So I guess it’s safe to say that this tool is less accurate in more extreme cases.</p>
<p>The miss teen south carolina speech registered a 34.55 grade level</p>
<p>I personally believe the US Americans are unable to do so because uh, some, uh people out there in our nation don’t have maps and uh I believe that our education like such as South Africa and, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as and I believe that they should, our education over here in the US should help the US, err, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our</p>
<p>^that.</p>
<p>This boosted my confidence somewhat. I’m writing at my grade level, contrary to what my momma says.</p>
<p>An essay for Ethics course:</p>

Flesh-Kincaid Grade Level Score: 13.74

<p>I tend to think that most expository writing is likely to appear to be male due to the general lack of personal pronouns (with the obvious exception of biographical writing). Notice that the error rate for females seems much higher from our results.</p>
<p>The implementation of the ■■ algorithm used by [Readability</a> Statistics](<a href=“http://www.ist.rit.edu/~jxs/services/TestReadability.html]Readability”>http://www.ist.rit.edu/~jxs/services/TestReadability.html) deviates from the standard quite a lot. Given the following text:</p>
<p>
Simplified rules on syllable determination:
1. Contextually, vowels include aeiou and y.
2. Assume that all e's preceded by a consonant are silent.
3. Contextually, plurals are defined as words that ends in es,
where the e is assumed to be silent unless it is adjacent to another vowel.
4. Adjacent vowels+diphthongs are singular sounds, hence they contribute only one syllable.
5. Words ending in le(s) preceded by consonants are abstracted
into o sounds and hence contribute one syllable.

<p>The RIT implementation fails to exclude “empty” sentences. (The lexer parses everything not within the range [a-zA-Z\s] as nonessential characters)</p>
