%%name: diction

%%short-description: Checks text for readability and bad usage.

%%full-description: This program includes both Diction and
Style. Diction identifies wordy and commonly misused phrases; style
analyzes surface characteristics of a document, including sentance
length and other readability measures.

While these programs cannot help you structure a document well, but
they can help to avoid poor wording and compare the readability of
your document with others. Both commands support English and German
documents.
