Pygon is a python script that detects common English jargon in your text files. It gives you siggestions to write better.
So far, it works with text files only. If you want to check your Office files, e.g. .DOC, copy and paste to .txt first.
No installation needed! Simply download the project folder (see on the right) & and unzip.
Requirement: python
cd <jargon-folder>/src
python jargon.py <path-to-textfile.txt>
If python installed: see Mac OS X instructions
If no python installed:
cd <jargon-folder>/bin/linux
./jargon <path-to-textfile.txt>
