[suggestion] Optional E-Prime Mode

Vorror opened this issue · comments

What do you think about E-Prime(Optional and enabled by a flag)?

It would be an interesting new option.

As an exercise it might be interesting, but I don't think it is a useful way to prescribe language use. I'm very anti-prescriptivist, though, so @btford might have a different opinion. As an option I don't think it would hurt too much.

Adding it as a module makes sense to me.

Definitely. It'll allow users to optionally change-up sentence structure so their text doesn't become too repetitive. I consider it more of an informational thing, not a "rule".

This I like. PRs accepted if you can get a nice module up and running with some tests. 👍

Seems easy enough. I'll get on it!

Thanks again!
