THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE TOOL!!!
For one of my regular news stories, I got a score of 10.55.
That is great news for me; it means that story writing ability is simple and easy to read. For the online FOG index calculator, there was only a couple of sentences that need some sort of revision. These index calculators are crucial for journalists. Readability is important when writing a story.
Just for fun, I used the FOG index to calculate one of term papers. I got a 15.60 rating.
That is what happens in college term papers. We are forced to use complex words in order to seem intelligent to our professors. I guess this also means that my vocabulary skills are at least at a college level.

Good FOG score.
ReplyDeleteI think big words and long, convoluted sentences are signs of bad writers, NOT intelligence.
Honestly, I feel like I spend half my life trying to get students NOT to write like they're writing an academic term paper. Fortunately, you seem to be able to write like a writer, not an academic.
