Diction and style are two old standard Unix commands. Diction identifies
|
|
wordy and commonly misused phrases. Style analyses surface
|
|
characteristics of a document, including sentence length and other
|
|
readability measures.

|
These programs cannot help you structure a document well, but they can
|
|
help to avoid poor wording and compare the readability (not the
|
|
understandability!) of your documents with others. Both commands support
|
|
English and German documents.
