I'll be working on making this site more difficult to read in the days and weeks to come. I'm disappointed in myself considering that some of my other work, such as this law review article scores much more difficult to read (GF Index of 12.06, FRE of 55.80, and a FKG of 7.78). Expect longer sentences, bigger words, and polysyllabic words (even if I have to make them up). One word responses (Heh, Indeed, etc., are not going to cut it anymore).

Heh...indeed!
Don't feel that bad. The NYT has a grade level between 6th and 8th grade level.
Unfortunately, the Times appears to have been taken over by petulent 2-year olds who are too busy throwing tamper tantrums because they can't impose their will on the public. This is especially prevalent on the editorial page.
