It was definitely written with keywords to catch the tech savvy. Short version is, like a spell-checker, if one writes "I hate it when you say that" and the machine underlines "hate it when you say" and offers "prefer one not to say" (or whatever the correct replacement phrase might be.)Machines can do that, partly. They can suggest where we look and provide alternatives, but users would need to verify the alternative as valid and useful. I know how to do the technical part -- using a machine to suggest literary style. I don't know so well the preferred literary style in this environment, which is why I suggest machine assistance.
