FAQ
Is this a full grammar and spell checker like Grammarly?
No. This checks for common prose style issues using fixed rules and word lists — it does not check spelling or grammatical correctness the way a full grammar engine does.
What checks are included?
Passive voice, weasel words (vague qualifiers like 'very' or 'a lot'), clichés, repeated words, wordy phrases, and sentences starting with 'so' or 'there is/are'.
