May 26, 2006Why isn't 'monosyllabic' a shorter word?
Scott Baradell asks Which Media, Marketing, or PR Blog is the Most Readable, and goes on to answer the question by applying the Gunning-Fog readability index, as calculated at the JuicyStudio site. Most of our colleagues score in the 8-11 range, which means you need 8 to 11 years of education to make
out what we are nattering on about.
Desirable Roasted Coffee was not in Scott's survey, but the ever-helpful Stuart Bruce put DRC on his list. Desirable Roasted Coffee scores 10.24, with 1.65 syllables a word, and 7.73 words a sentence. Well, you can call me wordy. But I am less wordy than my erudite friends Kami Huyse (10.51: 1.53 syllables a word, 12.59 words per sentence) and Lee
Hopkins (10.94, 1.53 syllables a word, 13.54 words per sentence).
