"This sentence references a publisher’s audience by using the word following. Breve called the word Complex and recommended I replace it with next, which is incorrect. In the same sentence, Breve noted establish as a Complex word. That doesn’t seem like a particularly complex word."

"I noticed this issue with the complex words as well, it didn’t understand the context, thinking forward should be send (I’m assuming it thinks in the context of email forwarding?)."

"I’m curious to understand how the list of phrases was compiled. Some of the “complex” words can have multiple meanings and the suggestion is not always a good match (delete -> cut, display -> show, render -> give). Some seem like a weird choice and maybe problematic: females would suggest women, but males, male, or female are not “complex”

"I think Jetpack still has some way to go as a judge of good/effective writing. It thinks 'currently' and 'purchase' are 'complex words', and says that 'may' and 'might' are 'unconfident'. Speaking as an editor, as well as an author and publisher, I certainly won't be taking it seriously until it 'ups its game' (would it understand that term?)!"
