It also flags weak openers like "There are many people who", which can usually start with the real subject.

Questions
Is shorter always better?
No. Cut words that add nothing, but keep the detail, evidence and nuance your argument needs.
What is a filler word?
A word that adds emphasis without meaning, like "very", "really" or "basically". One or two are fine; many make writing feel padded.
Is my text stored?
No. Everything runs in your browser.
