Uhhh, what the frell is this?

I found it when I typed in my username in google. (Don't ask why)

Dunno but Isle has a pretty high score

Linguica wrote a program that calculated the average grade level for each user from their posts in the forums. You acquire higher scores by using longer sentences and more advanced words.

[Ichor]

Does the grade level drop the more profanity, grossly misspelled words, all capital letter sentences, etc. there are?

Hmm... It seems that I'm not on that list.

No, it's based purely on syllable and punctuation count.

It looks like it's quite old, as I'm not on it either (as are others who joined after me).

I registered about the same time as you, Ultimate Doomer... And I got 4.9 in this list.

[Disorder]

Disorder 2.5

Hmmm, I guess my first couple of months on the forums and the spamming that followed didn't really help me build a nice score. Thank God I stopped writing just 'heh' nowadays.

Number of syllables per word and number of words per sentence is the worst way I've ever heard of determining one's writing skills. There's nothing proper about using a 5-syllable word when a 2-syb will do, and using run-on sentences.

Not quite - my membership number is 739 and yours is (wait for it...) 666.

Why should I? Is it really that annoying?

Grade 4.9?!?! DOh!

[nxn]

I don't think it was ling that wrote it, he just got it from somewhere. Atleast that's what I would have been telling people after they saw that thing.

[Lizardcommando]

Ha ha! I got a 4. I thought I'd see myself at around 2.1!

[Amaster]

Assmaster 4.5

No way! I deserve much more! Syllable and punctuation count really is a terrible way of making such a decision.
