I just checked and this post receives a Junior High rating. (I guess congratulations are in order for making it very readable…)

My wife’s blog got an elementary school rating, but each of her posts that wasn’t structured in a list or announcement form – where she wrote about one particular topic in a standard “English class” format – was rated “Post-Grad” or “Genius”.

Interesting.
