Admiral – Or it means that I’m an unintelligent clod. Either way, I win!

Mox – Oh thanks. I feel much better now.

Joated – Still better than this blog. I need to write “Blogging for Dummies.”

RT – STOP TRYING TO CHEER ME UP!!!

FYI: Newspapers aim for middle-school level reading levels. Not everyone that reads a paper (especially in days gone by) has a good enough education to understand the big words that mean the same as the little ones.

Not always a good thing, but that’s why the reading levels of newspapers aren’t higher. The NY Times is higher than most, too.

(Not a rant, just providing some info.)

Probably puts you in the same ballpark as the Philly Inquirer. Even the NYTimes only manages around 8th grade level last I checked. (They may have dropped since then what with all the BDS they’ve been spewing.)

Me? I ranked Junior High School.

Don’t feel so bad.

I took the same test and got Post Grad College. Which is our equivalent to your puny Earthling elementary schools.

John D – “SYLG: Embracing idiocy, one moron at a time.” It’s catchy!

Trek – Swell.

Dude, don’t pull the trigger yet. This isn’t bad news for you. Look at JK Rowling, she writes books for an elementary school audience, and she’s a gazillionaire. Of course it doesn’t say much for your readers, but since we’re too dumb to know any better, it’s OK.

Snigs – I’m not dumbing down this blog for some bonehead mass audience. (Not you.)

Jim – Damn you . . .
