%description
Writing is notoriously hard, even for the best writers, and it's not
for lack of good advice — a tremendous amount of knowledge about the
craft is strewn across usage guides, dictionaries, technical
manuals, essays, pamphlets, websites, and the hearts and minds of
great authors and editors. But poring over Strunk & White hardly
makes one a better writer — it turns you into neither Strunk nor
White. And nobody has the capacity to apply all the advice
from *Garner’s Modern American Usage*, a 975-page usage guide, to
everything they write. In fact, the whole notion that one becomes a
better writer by reading advice on writing rests on untenable
assumptions about learning and memory. The traditional formats of
knowledge about writing are thus essentially inert, waiting to be
transformed.
We devised a simple solution: 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.
