Jargon Detection Rule

This rule identifies and flags common jargon phrases that can make writing less clear and professional. Its purpose is to help writers maintain clear, straightforward communication by avoiding unnecessary bureaucratic or corporate jargon that can obscure meaning.

Using jargon can create barriers to understanding and make your writing feel overly formal or pretentious. This rule helps maintain more direct and accessible writing by identifying common jargon phrases that should be replaced with simpler alternatives.

Examples:

• ❌ "Please proceed in the affirmative" → ✅ "Please say yes"
• ❌ "We need to agendize this topic" → ✅ "We need to add this to the agenda"
• ❌ "Per your request, I've reviewed the document" → ✅ "As you requested, I've reviewed the document"
• ❌ "This policy will disincentivize tardiness" → ✅ "This policy will discourage tardiness"

The rule will flag these jargon terms as errors, encouraging writers to choose clearer, more direct alternatives.
