i just finished my paper. there's this thing on word after you spell and grammar check that tells you what level your writing is. my paper was written at a tenth grade level. what the hell? i write like i'm in tenth grade? let's hope i don't get graded with this system.



this feature being so amusing, i decided to run my last post through it. that vegas post was 528 words long and contained 2390 characters. i averaged 11.2 words per sentence and 4.3 characters per word. 12% of my sentences were passive (is that good or bad?). the ease at which you read it was probably 73.4. the flesch-kincaid reading grade level? 5.7. i have apparently just discovered the reason for my middle school mentality. it all makes so much sense now.
