3 shell scripts: Kill weasel words, avoid the passive, eliminate duplicates. More resources There are four books at arm's length in my office: Strunk and White's The Elements of Style is still a good, if not perfect, reference on style.

After a recent round of paper submissions with my own Ph.D. students, I've identified mechanically recognizable ways that precision and clarity leak out of a paper: weasel words and abuse of the passive voice. So, I've written shell scripts to detect these leaks. (I don't think I'll ever be able to write a shell script that detects bad marketing for a scientific idea.)
