Description

write-good is a naive linter for English prose. For example, it is able to check for the following issues in text:

  • passive voice
  • lexical illusions -- cases where a word is repeated
  • "so" at the beginning of the sentence
  • "there is" or "there are" at the beginning of the sentence
  • weasel words
  • adverbs that can weaken meaning: really, very, extremely, etc.
  • wordy phrases and unnecessary words
  • common cliches
