Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for analyzing and improving document readability. For example, a method of reducing writing problems in existing prose is disclosed that can deal with problems related to the word 'it' in text. Such a method can include the following steps: scanning prose to determine whether a particular writing problem exists in the prose; determining if at least one sign is present, the sign indicating a possible occurrence or absence of the writing problem, the sign comprising the word 'it'; and specifying a proposed edit to a user of the method, the proposed edit changing the prose in a way that addresses the writing problem. Various other rules for improving text are also disclosed.
