    Hilarious thread. Loved the cat pictures. It was worth the down-time to read.

    Pressa, random quotes from a google search:

    "BUt I have actually heard that USA TODAY was written at an eighth grade level and is therefore perfect for the average public high school classroom, given the varying reading abilities of the student. "

    "At what grade level are most newspapers and magz written?"
    "I learned in a journalism class in college a couple years ago that most papers and magazines are written at an 8th grade reading level."

    "I think it's sixth grade. Sadly that's where most people in the country are, which means they don't have a high enough reading level to understand and properly follow the label on prescription drugs. Scary thought."

    "According to Tim Porter's (http://timporter.com/firstdraft/archives/000418.html) reading of Phiip Meyer's book, the average newspaper story reads at about an eight grade level."

    "The world's most successful English tabloid, the UK's Daily Mirror, is written at the 9th-grade level."

    They do it on purpose! Good night!

    Ooooookay I do not know where you got that Americans were on a 8th grade level on average from quotes like that. Nor do I know who decides these levels which seems like **** to me :P


    Actually, the reading level thing is pretty much true. Example: I web mastered and sought accreditation for a medical advocacy website. One of the digs I got was that it was written at a 12th grade level and, as such, would be too difficult for the average person to understand. It was suggested that I consider lowering the reading level to an 8th grade level so more people could comprehend the material in the site. Their justification for this change was that the average person reads at an 8th grade level, though with the state of public education these days, a 5th grade level may be more appropriate. b:surrender

    I hear the Queen bug is fixed, and the NPC spawns now.

    I haven't ran into the Queen boss recently, but others have claimed to it being fixed.
