.ig @(#)diction.1 2.1 7/1/84 @(#)Copyright (C) 1983 by National Semiconductor Corp. .. .TH DICTION 1 .SH NAME diction,explain \- print wordy sentences; thesaurus for diction .SH SYNOPSIS .B diction [ .B \-ml ] [ .B \-mm ] [ .B \-n ] [ .B \-f pfile ] file ... .br .B explain .LP .SH DESCRIPTION .I Diction finds all sentences in a document that contain phrases from a data base of bad or wordy diction. Each phrase is bracketed with [ ]. Because .I diction runs .I deroff before looking at the text, formatting header files should be included as part of the input. The default macro package .B \-ms may be overridden with the flag .B \-mm. The flag .B \-ml which causes .B deroff to skip lists, should be used if the document contains many lists of non-sentences. The user may supply her/his own pattern file to be used in addition to the default file with .B \-f .I pfile. If the flag .B \-n is also supplied the default file will be suppressed. .PP .I Explain is an interactive thesaurus for the phrases found by diction. .SH "SEE ALSO" deroff(1) .SH BUGS Use of non-standard formatting macros may cause incorrect sentence breaks. In particular, .I diction doesn't grok .B \-me.
