(Cheers to Roba!)
Apparently there is a readability test that can be done to roughly determine how easy to read is a document (or a blog). The lower score is easier (the number are supposed to represent the number of years of education necessary to read the thing) And the benchmarks are as such:
Fog Index Examples
6 TV guides, Mark Twain
8 Reader’s Digest
8 - 10 Most popular novels
10 Time, Newsweek
11 Wall Street Journal
14 The Times, The Guardian
15 - 20 Academic papers
Over 20 Only government sites can get away with this, because you can’t ignore them.
Over 30 The government is covering something up
And this humble blog apparently scored 10.07. So slightly more complex than Time. Hmmm.
Noooooooo! I want my blog to complexly unreadable! I am very selective as to my readership!
Perhaps I shall set on somewhat increase the intrinsec complexity of the selected vocabulary I shall be using to depict to you my impressions on the ambient environment we evolve in.
(Oh crap. No can do. Ma' vocab' suks, 'n' so doz my dixion.)
Try it! Let me know what you get!! Yuka, i give you a 14.9 for smartness!! :)

7.8 :D for the FOGG test and a 76.57 for the readability test but that's actually good cause "Authors are encouraged to aim for a score of approximately 60 to 70." and that is afterall the backup career :D
