Berkeley UNIX has =style & =diction for proofreading (a small part of
the Writer's Workbench). Near the end of my writing process, I upload
my document to UNIX & grind it through these two programs. One gives
reading difficulty, the other flags often-misused words & phrases.
I suggest you buy "Strunk & White (The Elements of Style)" and use it
to revise your writing. It contains a list of misused words & phrases
too. It can help *prevent* bad writing. An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure......
