We are as easy to read as a popular novel
Here are Fog, Flesch, and Kincaid tests applied to MarginalRevolution. We are easier than Time and Newsweek (TC: how about Starsky and Hutch?), though (thank goodness) harder than Reader's Digest. The Flesch-Kincaid grade suggests that we are suitable reading for sixth graders. Thanks to Steven Bainbridge for the pointer, he in turn thanks Kevin Drum.
