Identifying and fixing such language serves as a central +challenge to each of us in our writing. + +Because the goals of our writing are nearly as diverse as ourselves, there +is no single set of rules guiding usage. What stands for formal writing +will fail for informal. What’s needed for dialogue won’t jibe with that +needed for narrative. The demands placed on the technical writer aren’t +wholly shared by other writers of non-fiction. + +Works of prose evolve. We expect our first drafts to be saddled with poor +usage, full of weak and repetitive language to be culled on later +rewrites. With enough polishing a work can emerge for which we can be +proud. + +Writers can benefit from tools which can help them along that path. +_wordy_ aspires to be such a tool. + +Existing proofreading software can scan your text for potential problems +in grammar and usage and provide comprehensive feedback. However, some +services like ‘After the Deadline’ require transmission of your work to +a server for checking. Others require installation and configuration of a +complex software package, where integration with Vim may prove difficult +or infeasible. + +In contrast, _wordy_ stands as a lightweight alternative to these +comprehensive tools, focusing narrowly on identifying potential problems +in word usage. Because it’s primitive by comparison, it’s best used in +concert with books and other resources on good usage in writing. + +## Requirements + +May require a recent version of Vim. + +## Installation + +Best installed using Pathogen, Vundle, Neobundle, or your favorite Vim +package manager. + +## Configuration + +You’ll typically use this plugin on-demand. It does not require any +special configuration, unless you want to map its commands to keys. More +on that below. + +Important note: on the first use of each of the plugin’s dictionaries, +a spell file will be built. This produces a message that resembles: + +``` +Reading word file /Users/reede/.vim/bundle/vim-wordy/data/en/cred.dic ... +Compressing word tree... +Compressed 618 of 1738 nodes; 1120 (64%) remaining +Writing spell file /Users/reede/.vim/bundle/vim-wordy/spell/cred.en.utf-8.spl ... +Done! +Estimated runtime memory use: 5600 bytes +Press ENTER or type command to continue +``` + +As instructed, press the enter key and it will disturb you no longer, at +least until it needs to build again. + +## Commands + +You can switch _wordy_ on and off. You’ll use the commands described below +to enable it. To disable and restore your previous spell environment, +enter the command: + +``` +:NoWordy +``` + +## Usage Dictionaries + +_wordy_ can’t read your mind. Even if it could it couldn’t understand your +intent. In fact _wordy_ is pretty dumb, as it will flag words and phrases +that may fit your goals perfectly well. In such a case you can ignore +_wordy’s_ protestations. + +_wordy_ errs on the side of identifying potential problems. For example, +if it highlights ‘moreover’, a word for which there may be no good usage, +you should consider a rewrite to eliminate it. But if it highlights +‘therefore’ in a sentence, you may consider it worthy and elect to keep +it, _wordy_ be damned. + +_wordy_ has a dozen dictionaries at the ready to attempt to shoot down +your prose. + +### Weak and lazy words + +``` +:LazyWordy +``` + +Lazy and weak words are common in first drafts. + +We sabotage ourselves though weak language. +We defeat our goal of effective writing by kicking the legs out from +beneath our verbs and tearing at the foundations of our nouns. + +Words that water down the points we are trying to drive home. + +“I _got_ up and _went_ to work.” => “I awoke and drove to work.” + +We diminish the weight of our ideas by adding modifiers. + +“The regiment was _perhaps_ a hundred strong, and took the hill.” + +“The regiment took the hill, despite fewer than a hundred soldiers +remaining in its ranks.” + +Text can also be weakened through overuse + +“He _actually_ drove to work in the blizzard.” => “He drove to work in +spite of the blizzard.” + +Use in rare occasions, effectively. Consult the books. + +Words can be fillers and play no active role, such as needless use of +‘that’: + +“A dog that was missing an eye followed us.” => “A dog missing an eye +followed us.” + +The use of ‘the’ can weaken, such as in this sentence. Better: start with +“Using ‘the’”. + +You can use the word ‘have’ in situations where you can be more direct: +“Can I have the ice cream?” => “I want ice cream.” + +Wordiness can be weak: “Joe _has the ability to_ eat beef.” => “Joe can +eat beef.” + +Using forms of ‘to be’ when action verbs can be used. Covered as +a separate target. + + +### Redundant phrases + +``` +:RedundantWordy +``` + +Did you ever receive an ‘advance warning’ when a mere warning would do? +Why plan when you can ‘plan ahead’? Why need a thought to ‘occur to me’ +when the thought can merely ‘occur’? + +But redundancies may not actually be redundant: ‘invited guests’ may not +be redundant if some of the guests have crashed your event. Or dialect +differences can erase redundancies, as the British will ‘protest against’ +where Americans may simply ‘protest’. + +To reveal [common redundancies][1] from which you can scrub from your +prose, enter this command: + +### WordyPuffery + +TODO describe puffery + +“The guru embodies authenticity; his disruptive ideas on +self-actualization reflect his dynamic and transformative personality.” + +Instead of using these words, instead provide a graphic example. + +“The Empire State Building is enormously tall.” => “My ears popped several +times during the X minute elevator ride to the observation deck.” + +### WordyCred + +“Along with a growing body of evidence, because common sense insists that +my opponent’s policies threaten and untrustworthy.” + +Rather than provide the reasoning and evidence, we’ll unconsciously sneak +in weasel words to shore up a weak facade. + +Similarly, we’ll skip reasoning and evidence and instead sneak in weasel +words to cast fear, uncertainty and doubt upon points we seek to tear +down. + +### WordyToBe + +If you’re not writing in the third person, you’ll want to ensure that +you’re not overusing. + +"You were there!" by Walter Cronkite + +“‘Was’ is a passive, lazy bum that hangs around your writing eating all +the snacks and drinking all the beer.” via Claire Grasse + + +### Combos + +TODO figure out which combos are best + +TODO show how you can define your own combo + +### What this plugin will miss + +Adverbs and adjectives. + +## See also + +If you like this plugin, you might like these others from the same author: + +* [vim-quotable](http://github.com/reedes/vim-quotable) - extends Vim to support typographic (‘curly’) quotes +* [vim-pencil](http://github.com/reedes/vim-pencil) - Rethinking Vim as a tool for writers +* [vim-thematic](http://github.com/reedes/vim-thematic) — Conveniently manage Vim’s appearance to suit your task and environment +* [vim-litecorrect](http://github.com/reedes/vim-litecorrect) - Lightweight auto-correction for Vim +* [vim-colors-pencil](http://github.com/reedes/vim-colors-pencil) — A color scheme for Vim inspired by IA Writer + +## Future development + +_wordy_ is a work in progress.
