And you thought 'National Standards' were ropey
The Whale has been doing some spouting about this analysis:
-----
I am proud that I am easier to read than other bloggers. But very upset to lose to Pinko in these ratings and ask for a recount.
-----
Pete (the analyst) says:
-----
There seems to be a correlation between the level of comprehension required to understand a post and where the author sits on the political spectrum. It should be remembered, though, that simplicity is not necessarily a vice. Especially when trying to communicate with a large community and trying to persuade them to a particular point of view. Hemmingway, for example, liked short bold sentences.
-----
Started 'The Old Man and the Sea'. Found it relentlessly overworked. Trying way too hard. Concise, but cold, empty. Couldn't read beyond a few pages. Short sentences? Shite.
Tumeke blog posts have been assessed at a reading grade level of 12.6 (whatever that means) and around about the mid-point for reading ease.
Mr Bradbury's legendary stream-of-conciousness, fifty line, single sentence paragraphs on the blog would have completely munted those stats. I'm guessing it wasn't one of those days. I find them easy to read though - but that's me.
Perhaps unsurprisingly Whaleoil and Kiwiblog find themselves in the special class/remedial learners end of the spectrum. Indeed :)

What ? Why ? Why is that fucking hideous little old ape john banks being seen within the same sentence as ' National Standards ' and 'Charter Schools ' ? You can't seriously mean that , that dismal flat-liner has anything to do with diddums get learned ? Hahahahahahahaha a ! Planet of the Average Apes ? Is there a new species that dear old , fabulous old David Attenborough needs to cover ? Imagine a planet covered in shitting , pissing , eating , consuming john banks meat sacks ? Snarling little napoleonic bungsters avoiding being trapped in dark rooms with their poisonous aborted fetus selves ? Fuck ! Hahahahahaha ! You mutts out there in fucked-up land ! You get what you deserve .
It just gets better and better everyday . I can't believe how easy it is to run out of adjectives . Hahahaha !
Judging by the writing styles of those who post messages on "Whaleoil", I'd say their reading/writing skills wouldn't even register on "National Standards". Fail.
Kiwiblog seems somewhat better, as messages appear to display a fair measure of comprehension and literary skills. Pass.
