I've been using this over the previous two days to try and refine a 1-liner for a project I'm working on. It's really interesting when you're trying to explain a project and you use jargon without even realizing it.

"Using small common words will make you more clear". Err, Will it?

Actually In fact, I really like this concept. It immediately makes me think that a text editor made for writers with plugins similar to like this would be very usefuleffectivehandy good.

Mixed feelings. On one hand, I agree it's helpful to be clear, concise, and approachable. But, I'm also so sick of hearing people dismissively say, "people don't read", "people won't know what that means", etc...

What if instead of putting our efforts into simplifying (or dumbing down) language, we figured out ways to excite people about words and language?

Hemingway Editor has a similar feature that isn't as annoying : http://www.hemingwayapp.com/

I'm in favour of this. If Wikipedia has a Simple English mode with 117,000 pages, there's place for writer's tools like this.

I can see this being really useful for copywriters or any text aimed at non-native English speakers.
