     ddiiccttiioonn, eexxppllaaiinn - print wordy sentences; thesaurus for diction

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
     ddiiccttiioonn [--mmll] [--mmmm] [--nn] [--ff _p_f_i_l_e] _f_i_l_e ...
     eexxppllaaiinn

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
     DDiiccttiioonn finds all sentences in a document that contain phrases from a
     data base of bad or wordy diction.  Each phrase is bracketed with `[]'.
     Because ddiiccttiioonn runs deroff(1) before looking at the text, formatting
     header files should be included as part of the input.

     --mmmm   The default macro package, --mmss, may be overridden with the flag
	   --mmmm.

     --mmll   causes deroff(1) to skip lists, should be used if the document con-
	   tains many lists of non-sentences.

     --ff _p_f_i_l_e.
	   Use _p_f_i_l_e as a pattern file in addition to the default file.

     --nn    Suppress usage of default file.

     EExxppllaaiinn is an interactive thesaurus for the phrases found by diction.
