Writing tool

I've discovered a tool that will help you detect problems in your writing, at least while doing it on the Web. The Passivator over at F-Train will detect all "to be" constructions and "-ly" adverbs and highlight them. That's a good place to start considering a tweak here and there.

It won't work in the posting box on Blogger and similar services. But if you use preview mode after you've written, it will run.
