Fight the Bull

Whatever your project, writing copy is hard work. Writing great copy is even harder work. While it will not help you to be more creative with your message, a handy tool called Bullfighter might help you clean up your prose.

Bullfighter works with Microsoft Word and PowerPoint and can scan your documents for occurrences of clichés and jargon – basically the kind of stuff that tends to creep in to copy while you weren’t really looking. Bullfighter makes a useful companion to the usual spell and grammar checks, and like them should be used with caution.

First time users of bullfighter can get a shock, as what may have been previously considered pretty good copy is ripped to shreds. It can however, really help you to identify certain types of undesirable writing habits, and learn to eliminate them.

Bullfighter is free software. It hasn’t been updated for quite a while now, but it does what it does quite well and is definitely worth a download.
