Created attachment 490932 [details] /usr/local/portage/dev-python/proselint/proselint-9999.ebuild proselint, a linter for English prose. (A linter is a computer program that, like a spell checker, scans through a document and analyzes it.) proselint places the world’s greatest writers and editors by your side, where they whisper suggestions on how to improve your prose. You’ll be guided by advice inspired by Bryan Garner, David Foster Wallace, Chuck Palahniuk, Steve Pinker, Mary Norris, Mark Twain, Elmore Leonard, George Orwell, Matthew Butterick, William Strunk, E.B. White, Philip Corbett, Ernest Gowers, and the editorial staff of the world’s finest literary magazines and newspapers, among others. Our goal is to aggregate knowledge about best practices in writing and to make that knowledge immediately accessible to all authors in the form of a linter for prose. proselint is a command-line utility that can be integrated into existing tools. http://proselint.com https://github.com/amperser/proselint/ https://pypi.python.org/pypi/proselint/0.8.0
