## Why _wordy_?
|

|
||||
Off-the-shelf proofreading software can scan your text for potential problems
|
||||
and provide comprehensive feedback. However, it may require a complex
|
||||
software installation or transmission of your work to a remote server for
|
||||
checking.

|
||||
In contrast, _wordy_ stands ready as a simple alternative to these
|
||||
comprehensive tools, focusing narrowly on identifying potential problems
|
||||
in usage.
