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 WWW: https://github.com/btford/write-good Requested by: bcr (via https://wiki.freebsd.org/WantedPorts)
