Cliche Filter

The Cliché Filter will be an application program that flags phrases in a document that are hackneyed, worn, tired or trite. It will be able to stand-alone, or be a part of a larger application, such as a word-processor, email client, electronic dictionary, or search engine.

It is to consist of:

I. A set of routines for scanning text and detecting clichés against a known list (such as are already compiled in books such as The Facts on File Dictionary of Cliches, and The Dimwit's Dictionary , and online at sites such as Cliches Avoid Them Like The Plague.  

II. Interface that will allow users to approve replacements and modify the program’s operation.

How many future Muslims, Mormons, Evangelicals, and Hindus do you think are born in the time it takes you to make your pithiest refutation of the teleolgical argument?

"Be fruitful and multiply" is practical Darwinism.

Everyone in the community shares everything? What about the world community?

Columbus as the boogey man of white supremacism isn't quite right. As an Italian of possible Jewish ancestry, his "whiteness" is heavily qualified.
