Oh ya! They still do that were your from.

Being easy to read on an internet message board is a good thing dummy. Most of the time you have to spell things out to retreads like yourself.

Dont be jelly brah, 11th grade aint bad, I had my best years in 11th grade.

And to all you haters of Classic "hard-to-read" posts...

Hysterical that being harder to read is being celebrated as a good thing. But basically, if anyone wants to "improve" their score they just need to write a bunch more words to say the same thing.

This is the same table twice.

Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity In Words of Four Letters or Less

Flesch–Kincaid readability scores for well-known writers.

copy/paste error derp. I fixed it. Thanks

John Grisham is higher than Tolkien? lolz

And Danielle Steele over Thomas Pynchon.

The Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit are basically children's books.

Awesome, thanks for doing.

Gotta get that word count score up.

Words.

Lopado*temacho*selacho*galeo*kranio*leipsano*drim* hypo*trimmato*silphio*parao*melito*katakechy*meno* kichl*epi*kossypho*phatto*perister*alektryon*opte* kephallio*kigklo*peleio*lagoio*siraio*baphe*tragan o*pterygon is a fictional dish mentioned in Aristophanes' comedy Assemblywomen.[1]

It is a transliteration of the Ancient Greek word λοπαδο*τεμαχο*σελαχο*γαλεο*κρανιο*λειψανο*δριμ*υπο *τριμματο*σιλφιο*καραβο*μελιτο*κατακεχυ*μενο*κιχλ* επι*κοσσυφο*φαττο*περιστερ*αλεκτρυον*οπτο*κεφαλλιο *κιγκλο*πελειο*λαγῳο*σιραιο*βαφη*τραγανο*πτερύγ ων. Liddell & Scott (LSJ) translate this as "name of a dish compounded of all kinds of dainties, fish, flesh, fowl, and sauces."

ACA there at the end is pretty funny.

The Hobbit, yes. LOTR is a teen-level book.

Grisham is basically a kindergarten level read. Don't get me wrong, i've read most of them and enjoy them immensely, but it's not like my brain is being taxed reading the yuge 2-syllable words.

Legal courtroom drama might be slightly more sophisticated than elves.

That said, the the parables of the Ring are much more profound.

It isn't so much about the parables (which i agree with you are profound); it's about the language. The words that Tolkien uses are carefully crafted and frequently show up in SAT and GRE exams. In fact, he created entire new languages that follow grammatically correct rules and syntax. They don't call it the greatest epic in fantasy fiction for nothing.

Grisham is just fluff. Enjoyable fluff, but fluff nonetheless.

Seriously? My name is used that often?

lol

RIP !!!Milo thread. That was a good thread.

mccarthy ranking is pretty lol. I guess if they are ranking the road then its ok but blood meridian is pretty dense and intricate.

Just as a teaser I'm working on a content analysis project that involves categorizing the emotions in texts, as well as a more complex way of assessing common topics across texts based on the semantic relationships between words. When I get that all sorted I'll probably run the P7 post set through it and see if that's at all entertaining.

There's no need, we know wilch wins the hysterical league.

Could you do a gish gallop table? I need to make one of these lists.

Nah, we already know who the crybabies are.
