Aw, fuck it - http://www.madsci.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/~lynn/jardin/SCG (http://www.madsci.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/~lynn/jardin/SCG) Your presence reminds one of a blind jackal, eternally dependent upon misguided archbishops to provide instruction in bowling. Title: Re: This site needs to work on its vernacular complexivity Post by: pxib on December 16, 2010, 07:33:41 PM It's also fun to play with different topics, rather than different sites.

Google just got the dumb-ass algorithm Microsoft Word used 15 years ago and applied it to the internet. Syllable length and sentence length are pretty much it, with a dash of word repetition.
