Actually, don’t use most of those words.

Mapbox has open-sourced the content testing tool they use to automatically review all of their documentation, retext-mapbox-standard.

Think of it as a pedantic robot that makes sure we write simple English, use consistent terminology, and avoid insensitive language.

This “auto-nitpicker” uses rules for writing clearly and sensitively, gathered from sources like The National Center on Disability and Journalism, plainlanguage.gov, and our own list of words to avoid in educational writing.
