One would need a high school education to read my little blog. Not surprising since I’m high functioning autistic and barely spell worth a damn anyway. Don’t talk worth a damn either. I love Neatorama though, and I think that anyone who believes that blog tool is a tool.

Junior high? Pffft. I guess I need to be more grandiloquent.

Just a word of warning, most automated readability tools are easily thrown off into giving false results when they encounter unknown words, such as names or slang. These will usually inflate your readability level.

Not sure how accurate this specific tool is though

College level for some parts of mine, apparently.

Guess I’ve got to try harder to get those geniuses.

What, though, of high-school geniuses, then? What do they read?

Damn…all my blog novels are ranked at college level. I don’t know if I should be happy or wishing they were more complicated…

…and to read mine you have to be a genius. I guess that is what’s required to understand the ramblings of an idiot.
