Sarah Palin's Writing Analyzed

Unfortunately Palin's understanding of much of the world including government, economy and geography is probably no greater than an 8 grade level.

I am not, however, surprised that Palin seems to resonate with people who have 8th grade reading comprehension levels.

Don't be jealous.
 
There's one of two things going on here, either:

A) She's hired a proofreader

or

B) Her truckload of disorders don't affect her grammer and punctuation.
 
I figured it out. Apparently talking points rate right at an 8th grade level. Makes perfect sense, everything is right in the world again.

You're right, I'm not giving her enough credit. She figured out that people would much rather hear talking points than any ham-fisted idea that came from that hollow space between her ears.

Besides, I'm not saying she's a terrible person or isn't good at anything. I'm sure she does a great job of coloring inside the lines and even though she's still trying to fit that round peg in the square hole, she did figure out the triangular one right away.




You are calling her dumb, yet she writes her e-mails at a higher grade level than you.


again fail.

One should proofread her own post for errors before accusing another of being stupid.

You realize of course that Obama scored .1 above her, right? If you're going to whine about her writing, you should be whining about his too.

When did I send you an email? Maybe it was when I was drunk, though normally when I get drunk I tweet pictures of my junk to women on twitter.

This way of grading simply doesn't work for emails, notes, speeches etc... I just typed a long blob of letters into word and it got a 32 grade level. Maybe it's only when she's talking she puts pressure on a nerve in her brain that makes her go full retard but she can type perfectly fine. I only play a doctor on tv so I'm not sure.

My grammar and punctuation are pretty much horse****, but I still hit a high grade level on that scale. Someone posted the way it is calculated earlier.
 
The post I am quoting scored a 7.1, so if you write anything close to this in your average e-mails, and bump it up for clients and vendors, I'm guessing that the average would probably be at least 8.

Of course, this is assuming that Word's reading level analysis is accurate.


P.S. This post I have just written received a score of 11.7 prior to adding a period behind the point seven, and 10.2 after I put the period down. The final score for what you see is 11.1.

I checked my last essay rough draft. I received a 20+.

Well, now that that's done, I suppose I'll be doing something more important.
 
Goddamn! What class was it for?

A research course. I noticed thereafter the score dropped about 5 points, but I wonder if it is because I am writing in Turbian formatting with increased emphasis on explaining content in footnotes. The document was not finished reading when I first clicked on it, as it was about 50 pages in length.

that was probably the reading level.

I typed this in...

...and got a 52.4 on Reading Ease & 10.4 on the grade level.

My gibberish is better than both Palin AND Obama! :rofl:

That is some mighty fine gibberish ya got there sir.
 
Too bad she doesn't have spellcheck for her mouth.
 
That doesn't even make sense.

It means her writing is fine because it isn't "on-the-spot".

She can't sit back and calculate what to say during debates and interviews, hence the hilarious results.

Many people are like that. They can write beautifully with clarity and depth, but that doesn't translate into speech for whatever reason. I'm like that, actually.
 
I speak off the cuff better than I write. Not sure why that is...

On another note...I've decided that Sarah Palin could cure every form of cancer with a non-invasive, no-side effect medication and some people would rail on her because she didn't cure aids.

I'm impressed with your writing, so you must be great off the cuff.
 
Why

does

anybody

care?

Replace Palin with Obama.

I get pretty creative with insults. I try to refrain from using those here so as not to anger the Gods.
 
I just checked a recent post of mine here on Word and even with all of my typos, sentence fragments, and other errors, it managed to score 9.7. This is pretty surprising to me, so I decided to test this post to see what it would score and it got a 9.6.

This indicates to me that it can’t be all that difficult to get an 8.2.

I'd have to have Word to test mine?

Mellie's OP was a direct C&P from the article. :)
