Does anyone actually use style and diction. Diction has a nice
little display, and allows easy fix-ups. The dict.d file, though,
could be extended in a number of ways (does anyone have a good
dict.d file?). Style, though, seems only to report opaque word-
lengths, and various statistics on parts of speech and sentence-
type. In terms of basic, Strunk & White-type help with writing,
it seems to be of minimal use. I wonder: Has anyone actually
gotten some good mileage out of style? If so, could he or she
perhaps offer some guidance?
