Class AbstractFillerWordsRule


  • public abstract class AbstractFillerWordsRule
    extends TextLevelRule
    A rule that gives hints about the use of filler words. The hints are only given when the percentage of filler words per paragraph exceeds the given limit. A limit of 0 shows all used filler words. Direct speech or citation is excluded otherwise. This rule detects no grammar error but gives stylistic hints (default off).
