Studies in Greek Language & Linguistics…

Blog Reading Level

I’m really cynical how accurate this thing is….but according to this site

my blog has the following reading level:

cash advance

I just don’t know how many high school students can read Greek….

But then perhaps it isn’t that bad…I checked and Jim West’s blog has a high school reading level too (with all that German) and so does Nick’s blog too!

Chris Tilling didn’t fair so well (sorry Chris!):
cash advance

But then, I’m not so sure about that either.

Those are some smart and well read junior highers…

    It’s a bit sketchy. Evangelical Textual Criticism came in at Junior High level, znd no offence to Josh, but A New Testament Student came in at Genius level — that can’t be right.

    I also think that your blog and Tilling’s should be higher than mine. But what do I know?

    Let me clear up that last comment because re-reading it, it came off sounding wrong. I’m not saying that Josh’s blog can’t be at the genius level (I’d personally put it at college-undergrad) — What I meant was that I think the Evangelical Textual Criticism blog is much more technical and requires a higher reading level than Josh’s — so their getting a Junior High rating can’t be right in comparison. Hope that makes more sense. I certainly wasn’t trying to ‘diss’ Josh’s stuff.

    I’m curious as to what criteria it uses to render its results. I wonder if there’s any way to find out…

    Really, you could all stand to learn something from us Genius bloggers ;)

    Guys, guys, don’t take that gadget seriously! I seriously doubt that it measures anything correctly.

    That said, I PWNED ALL Y’ALL’S RATINGS!!! 1337!!! ;-)

    show off…

    i don’t think anyone is taking it seriously.

    So all you hoity toity biblio-blogger, Greek knowing, seminary professor/student, pastor bloggers are going to be embarrassed about your blogs being Junior High level. :)

    I was surprised my Suffering Christians came in at Grad level. It’s mainly just quotes and Scripture. But then Scripture Zealot came in at Junior High level. I suppose I should either be glad it’s understandable or I need to use bigger words.

    Oh, I know. I just wanted an opportunity to note that I got an awesome rating. ;-)

    A New Testament Student came in at Genius level — that can’t be right.

    I laughed so hard when reading this….in the middle of the library.

  14. mga318 November 6, 2007 at 6:06 pm

    As a librarian, I thoroughly disapprove.

  15. Nick Norelli November 6, 2007 at 9:49 pm

    Josh,

    I pray you didn’t take offense… I know it came off sounding wrong the way I originally said it. But I share Mike’s disapproval… Libraries are for napping, not laughing ;)

    just turn off your cell phone. that’s all I ask.

  17. Josh McManaway November 6, 2007 at 10:23 pm

    I do turn off my cell phone. And normally Biblioblog reading doesn’t lend itself to laughing, but that really was funny. I didn’t take offense at all. Just the non-chalant “That can’t be right.” I’m still laughing!
