Name
       diction, explain - print wordy sentences; thesaurus for diction

Syntax
       diction [-ml] [-mm] [-n] [-f pfile] file...
       explain

Description
       The command finds all sentences in a document that contain phrases from a data base of bad or wordy diction.  Each phrase is bracketed with
       [ ].  Because runs before looking at the text, formatting header files should be included as part of the input.

       The command is an interactive thesaurus for the phrases found by diction.

Options
       -mm		   Overrides default macro package -ms.

       -ml		   Causes deroff to skip lists.

       -fpfile		   Specifies pattern file in addition to default file.	Note that you can specify the -n  flag	to  suppress  the  default
			   file.

Restrictions
       Use of non-standard formatting macros may cause incorrect sentence breaks.
