Explanation[edit]
|
This is not a comic, but a webpage on xkcd.com There are many other similar xkcd webpages, some of which are explained here. Explain xkcd is trying to decide how they should be treated. You are welcome to help us decide how we should categorise, call, or present these kinds of explanations. Kindly leave a comment here. This page should not be categorized until we decide how to explain these non-comics (see discussion above). |
This is a page in which one can check to see if all the words in a given piece of writing fits within the "ten hundred" most often used words. "thousand" isn't one of those, but "ten" and "hundred" are, so to talk about that number, one would have to use simple words that mean the same thing.
Other than "xkcd", all the words on the page are part of the "ten hundred" most often used words.
The page helps create the same kind of writing shown first in 1133: Up Goer Five and then in the Thing Explainer book. It is mentioned at the end of Thing Explainer, as a way to create writing like it.
