SMOG Calculator

[dubhain]

(Because I'd like to make my debut post with something useful:)

As DW's style manual states that FAQs should have a readability of 8.0-9.0 on the SMOG Readability Scale, and because I really hate trying to calculate such things manually, I refer anyone interested to: The SMOG Calculator.

Also? O hai, everyone.

(Ducks, to avoid bricks and brickbats being thrown at him for the heinous use of lolspeak in a dw_docs post.)

Interesting!

My one observation is wondering if SMOG works well for specialized vocabularies like ours? I don't know much about the background, so.

Usually for lolspeak, I throw lolcats, not ducks. Though those fly better. Not sure how well they hold captions, though...

*waves* Hi there!

Hmm, looks like most of the ones I edited are around 10-12, with one horrifying 14 in there. Oh dear.

NOnononono....
Llama first, then duck.
