Deloitte Consulting has released a free program called Bullfighter which attaches itself to Word or PowerPoint and offers writers a gentle reprimand when they get caught up in meaningless jargon like “mindshare” and “leverage”. The software offers suggestions for alternate phrasing and, much like Street Tech’s own BS Detector, calculates a “Bull Composite Index” for the document. The software is available at the Deloitte Consulting web site and requires Word or PowerPoint 2000 or XP.
