It is interesting to me that the plugin, like it's MT counterpart, computes the "difficulty" of a word by counting off the number of syllables in that word. So according to the plugin, posts with "ken", or "ersatz" in them make for easier reading than ones with "september" or "president" :) Matt, I guess even first graders can understand the simple one liner comments that most of the blogs have, usually.
