Consistency Linter & ESL Polish

/polish-languageNEW
Writing & Manuscript

What it does

Academic English consistency linting plus non-native (ESL) clarity polish. A deterministic linter flags abbreviation, US/UK spelling, en-dash range, P/p case, hyphenation, number-style, and unit-spacing issues; a gated pass then fixes wording without touching numbers, citations, or scientific meaning.

Highlights

  • ✓8-family deterministic consistency report
  • ✓Style-only — never alters numbers or citations
  • ✓Distinct from humanize (AI-tell removal)
