'Blog entry' is now a genre?!

Okay, it says I'm male... Quite flattering, for theoretical reasons.

Quite flattering, for theoretical reasons.

Just read the studies on the differences between "male" and "female" writing-- very interesting.

Just wrote a few lines about today...

Words: 77

(NOTE: The genie works best on texts of more than 500 words.)

Female Score: 57

Male Score: 91

The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!

I was mildly amused to see that "me" & "mine" were considered female words.

Was 100% accurate when I pasted AIM logs in as 'blog entries'. Quite amused, and I suppose impressed as well.
