From what I understand this has nothing to do with structural complexity or any other "things like that", just a simple words per sentence/syllables per word ratio, as described below. You could enter nonsense entries made up of nothing but long "sentences" of strung-together thesuarus fodder and get a high grade.
Agreed; but I was referring to the actual test, not to the lj quiz related to it. =) Sorry about that, chief.
I crave your pardon for the use of "things like that", but I have massively injured my knee this evening and am less than lucid. Where is my codeine...
Right. I think you misjudged my intent. "Things like that" wasn't in quotes to attempt to needle at it/you, I just figured if I'm going to use the same words as you I may as well quote it. (Honestly, I'd have to delete half my entries if I was going to get snarky about .. erm.. things like that.)
