Another fun meme brought to you by rfreebern

First that haiku-meme insulted me a while back, now this one is calling me... me... *sniff* simple! I write on a fifth grade level! Perhaps it would be advantageous to intercalate some superfluous phraseology into any forthcoming LJ communique.

New rule: No more fast food egg sandwiches for breakfast. No more, none, never. Sure they taste okay at the time, but after I eat them I feel sick sick sick. And yes, I just posted *yesterday* this same fact about lunch/dinner, so lord knows why I kept going for breakfast... (Perhaps I think at a fifth grade level, too!)

I missed dinner last night, so I ate something new in an attempt not to go to bed hungry. Uh, the name slipped my mind. Soft taco things. Flat bread things. Just ate one plain, not heated up or with anything on it or anything. It was surprisingly yummy. (But then, I was starving, too.)

To make you feel slightly better, I pulled up the info on the bottom of the meme:

The grade level given by the formula does not indicate the education level of the writer. It indicates at what grade level the reader's comprehension must be at for them to understand the text. So if your journal has a low grade level, it means you have written it in a very clear and easy-to-understand manner.

Mm, true. That makes sense, but I would think requiring a higher level to understand it would be "better", as then you would have used bigger words and more complex sentences...

Or heck, maybe writing for clear/easy comprehension is cool, too. Who knows. I'm really putting too much stock in a meme. :P

I think it would be funny if you did start inserting superfluous verbiage into your otherwise straightforward prose- it'd be like vocabularical Tourette's: "Tonight's Japanese candy is (sesquipedalian!) Orange Creme Critters. The box's aroma (antidisestablishmentarianism!) was promising, but the flavor of the actual (tauromachian!) snack was (postmediastinum!) disappointing.

I laughed out loud when I first read your comment, then I reread it and laughed louder. Luckily only co-workers were walking by, not my boss. "Vocabularical Tourette's", heeheehee!

If it makes you feel any better, my journal is grade 5.

But, surprisingly, my writing journal (http://www.livejournal.com/~tinuithil) is grade 6. It seems that I write high level fiction, but low level rants. *shrugs*

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Huh. That's interesting that you got two different numbers on your journals, though at least they're close together.
