Want to Choose Better Words?

Our words matter.
Our words have always mattered, but they matter more now that the Internet gives us the power to make our words permanently public.
Words might help or hurt someone. Our words may have more power than we believe them to have when we use them.
Yet how many people truly think about every word they write?
Two new extensions for the Chrome browser can help you choose your words.
One extension, called reword, highlights words that have the power to hurt others. The other, called Just Not Sorry, will show you when your words take away your power.
Both extensions are free and work only with the Chrome browser.
Just Not Sorry
Just Not Sorry is a Chrome extension that is, in many ways, the opposite of reword. Reword is meant to soften language. Just Not Sorry is designed to empower language.
Developers at the company Cyrus Innovation created Just Not Sorry. They said some people weaken their messages by using apologetic words. So they invented a tool that highlights such words in a writing.
Just Not Sorry works only in Gmail, as a Chrome extension.
It works like this: When a message is created in Gmail, Just Not Sorry will highlight the words that weaken the message.
A dotted orange line will appear below the weak words. Examples of such words include "sorry," "just," "I think," and "I'm no expert." An explanation of why the words were highlighted will also appear.
Users can then choose to change the words or not. The words will not be highlighted in the copy sent.
Just Not Sorry is also available at no cost from the Google Chrome store.
