Package: diction
Version: 1.02-1
Severity: normal
For example:
% echo "There was a wise old hen." | diction | fmt | nl
1 (stdin):1: [There was -> (a dead phrase; rewrite the sentence and
it will
2 probably improve)] a [wise -> (avoid words that end in -wise)] old
hen.
3 2 phrases in 1 sentence found.
The advice in line #2 is too inclusive. It would be better if
'diction' left plain old "wise" alone.
Hope this helps...
