Anti-cliche suggestion

Open shirish93 opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

I have collected a bunch of commonly-used cliches from a variety of sources. Would there be any interest in adding it to proselint?

My original idea was to create something similar to proselint but just for cliches. Considering how well it's been made, considering abandoning my repo and instead contributing to proselint. If there is interest, I'll start research on identifying where I got the cliches to begin with.

You could consider a new module with a similar structure to https://github.com/amperser/proselint/blob/master/proselint/checks/gnu_diction/cliches.py, but it would require sourcing your original work to integrate appropriately.

This makes me realise that it is difficult to cite multiple different sources for the same kind of linting rule module; perhaps suggesting a structure modification? Will make a new issue.

Some of these cliches are just single words; should we just add the single words to the skunked terms?

In the meantime, I'll find some sources for some of the words here.
