8 years ago When you expand the text size (Ctrl+ or CMD+) the tool tips don't do the same - they can get cut off. Try the foul language at the bottom.

Maybe lock the tooltip open on click? Or something?

Maybe the list could be pared down just to have the bugs, and strip the email headers too to make things a bit easier to read.

8 years ago @Decagon Yes, good idea. We could also separate and sort these into separate issues (or merge them with existing issues).

8 years ago Here are a few issues that I extracted but wasn't sure if I should make an issue for them:
The advice against "more research is needed" and against what looks like the introduction to a literature review (acknowledging the work of prior researchers is really the opposite of professional narcissism!) seems wrong for academic writing. It's not narcissism to sound like a professional if you are one. As for Latin, et al. is Latin too. Is mutatis mutandis worse that c'est la vie or que sera sera? Maybe the advice should read: "Will your audience understand this?" or something more audience-centered--? (There's a book called They Say, I Say that lists the most common fixed expressions in academic writing. What's most common is seldom what's good, so I'm not sure it's a great resource for good writing, but I don't want to send mixed-messages to first-time college students, etc., who are also trying to learn what sounds normal.) Stuff to think about!
"is the preferred form" sounds to me like a nod to the fact that prescriptivism is dumb, BUT it also sounds kind of passive-aggressive and condescending. It's also not necessarily accurate, since a misspelling like "Chronicals" is not, to my knowledge, an alternative form that's used somewhere but which isn't preferred in proselint's context--it's just a mistakes that isn't recognized anywhere?. "conventional spelling"? "dictionary spelling"? Again, "shoe-in" seems to MEAN something different from "shoo-in", so it's more of a false etymology than an issue of which form do "we" (whoever "we" are) "prefer."
The venery terms probably belong in the "narcissism" section...

Message The pop-up text for the phrasal adjective examples doesn't quite make sense. E.g.:
(1) 'Big-ticket item' is not a phrasal adjective; the phrasal adjective is 'big ticket'.
(2) The text actually tells the reader to remove the hyphen.
(3) Since you couldn't decide whether the period should go inside or outside the quotes, you put one in both places.
The big problem with phrasal adjectives is that people think that whether a phrase is a phrasal adjective is determined by the words in the phrase. It's not; it's determined by the context in which the phrase appears, namely, modifying another noun. So: "a real-time system", but "in real time".
I suggest explaining this in the pop-up text. A possible wording:
(Put the period inside the quote if you want -- I don't care -- just don't use two of them :-)
