# Writing Syntax for Vim

Bundle for vim to highlight adjectives, passive language and weasel words.



## Overview

This project is inspired by the article [Shell scripts for passive voice, weasel words, and duplicates](http://matt.might.net/articles/shell-scripts-for-passive-voice-weasel-words-duplicates/) by [Matt Might](https://twitter.com/mattmight). There have been other vim implementations ([see here](https://github.com/davidbeckingsale/writegood.vim)) but they didn't use a syntax file or address adjective overuse. 

## Installation

- Install with [Vundle](https://github.com/gmarik/vundle)

If you are not using vundle, you really should have a try.

Edit your vimrc:

    Bundle "jamestomasino/vim-writingsyntax"

And install it:

    :so ~/.vimrc

    :BundleInstall

- Install with [pathogen](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen)

If you prefer tpope's pathogen, that's ok. Just clone it:

    cd ~/.vim/bundle

    git clone https://github.com/jamestomasino/vim-writingsyntax.git

## Use

To enable the highlighting:

    :setf writing
