Someone sent me this “Blog Readability Test” the other day so, naturally, I took it. Or rather, I inserted this blog’s URL in the designated space and, in less that a nanosecond, it read my entire blog and determined that a high school education is required to understand it.
I suppose that’s about right. I write most posts for easy readability by a wide audience that includes my teenage grandsons. But considering the program’s rapid response, I suspect it merely searched for four syllable words and, finding relatively few, determined the blog’s readability quotient. Perhaps I’ll pen a long, nonsensical essay laced with four or more syllable words and resubmit. Farcical, you say? Impracticable? Perhaps. But incontrovertibly gratifying.
