READABILITY

Every once in awhile I like to check the readability of the blog.

There is a good survey available at Juicy Studio

Here are the reults. Go to Juicy for explanations.

Summary Value
Total sentences 525
Total words 4227
Average words per Sentence 8.05
Words with 1 Syllable 3068
Words with 2 Syllables 715
Words with 3 Syllables 292
Words with 4 or more Syllables 152
Percentage of word with three or more syllables 10.50%
Average Syllables per Word 1.42
Gunning Fog Index 7.42
Flesch Reading Ease 78.94
Flesch-Kincaid Grade 4.25

This is about where I want the blog to be The Flesch Reading Ease number is desirably between 60-70 so I am high there. The Fog grade is near 8th grade which is where we put our training materials. Somehow, Flesch-Kincaid grade is lower. An anomaly.

Do with it what you will. I don't think I will change much
