ClicheCleaner is a unique program that helps you write better, by highlighting passages in your text that are either cliches, other overly-used common expressions, or phrases of your own that you have repeatedly used within the same document.
ClicheCleaner includes a list of nearly 7000 unique cliches and common expressions that are compared against your text. However the actual number of phrases compared against totals over 16,000 counting all the variations. For example, when searching for the cliche "lose one's shirt," the various verb forms lose, lost, and losing are all checked, as well as his, her, my and your being substituted for "one's". That's 15 different versions of just this one cliche.
Everyone has a unique writing style and their own way of expressing themselves. But however clever or original a phrase may be, if a writer uses the same witty saying -- or even a part of it -- again in the same document, the reader experiences literary deja vu and the original impact is greatly diminished. That is where the second half of ClicheCleaner's capability comes into play. It examines your entire document, and looks for all repeated phrases of three or more words.
ClicheCleaner is also a versatile, multi-file text editor -- so once you've spotted something you want to change, you can edit the text without leaving the program.
