"This encourages you to write only using frequently used words"

"This helps you to write only using top words"

These two sentences could have different meanings though. What is a top word? The best ones? The frequently used ones? Without context it might not be clear.

Encourages and helps can also be very different.

Anyway it is quite cool I guess. Maybe you could add automatic synonyms for words that are within the 1000.

Inspired by Cleartext for the web. Read my blog post on this if interested: http://www.deekshith.in/2016/04/easy-write-intro.html Let me know your feedback. Thanks :)

its an interesting idea - this bit made me laugh -

"beautiful" instead of "gorgeous"

since i never spell "beautiful" right!

Haha, yeah may should have said "lood looking" instead of "gorgeous".

Why is this good? Being specific is better than being general.
