diction

DICTION(1)							   User commands							DICTION(1)

NAME

       diction - print wordy and commonly misused phrases in sentences

SYNOPSIS

       diction [-b] [-d] [-f file [-n|-L language]] [file...]
       diction [--beginner] [--ignore-double-words] [--file file [--no-default-file|--language language]] [file...]
       diction -h|--help
       diction --version

DESCRIPTION

       Diction	finds  all  sentences  in a document that contain phrases from a database of frequently misused, bad or wordy diction.	It further
       checks for double words.  If no files are given, the document is read from standard input.  Each found phrase is enclosed in  [	]  (brack-
       ets).   Suggestions  and  advice, if any and if asked for, are printed headed by a right arrow ->.  A sentence is a sequence of words, that
       starts with a capitalised word and ends with a full stop, double colon, question mark or exclaimation mark.  A single letter followed by  a
       dot  is	considered  an	abbreviation, so it does not terminate a sentence.  Various multi-letter abbreviations are recognized, they do not
       terminate a sentence as well, neither do fractional numbers.

       Diction understands cpp(1) #line lines for being able to give precise locations when printing sentences.

OPTIONS

       -b, --beginner
	      Complain about mistakes typically made by beginners.

       -d, --ignore-double-words
	      Ignore double words and do not complain about them.

       -s, --suggest
	      Suggest better wording, if any.

       -f file, --file file
	      Read the user specified database from the specified file in addition to the default database.

       -n, --no-default-file
	      Do not read the default database, so only the user-specified database is used.

       -L language, --language language
	      Set the phrase file language.

       -h, --help
	      Print a short usage message.

       --version
	      Print the version.

ERRORS

       On usage errors, 1 is returned.	Termination caused by lack of memory is signalled by exit code 2.

EXAMPLE

       The following example first removes all roff constructs and headers from a document and feeds the result to diction with a German database:

	      deroff -s file.mm | diction -L de | fmt

ENVIRONMENT

       LC_MESSAGES=de|en
	      specifies the message language and is also used as default for the phrase language.  The default language is en.

FILES

       /usr/share/diction/*	databases for various languages

HISTORY

       There has been a diction command on old UNIX systems, which is now part of the AT&T DWB package.  The original version was bound to roff by
       enforcing a call to deroff.  This version is a reimplementation and must run in a pipe with deroff(1) if you want  to  process  roff  docu-
       ments.  Similarly, you can run it in a pipe with dehtml(1) or detex(1) to process HTML or TeX documents.
