Making your own list to use with Text Separator is easy. All you need to know are two instruction terms.

The first is [allcase]. [allcase] tells Text Separator to look for whatever text is on the line following this term, even if it's capitalized, in all caps, or all lowercase. That text will become a tag.

The second is [explain]. [explain] tells Text Separator what you want it to tell you about the tag you just told it to look for. [explain] should always follow an [allcase] command starting on the very next line.

Text Separator treats each line of a text file as a command. Be sure to only press the enter key when you are done with a particular command. Here is what your lists should look like:

[allcase]that
[explain]If a sentence makes sense without the word “that”, delete that instance of the word “that”.
[allcase]just
[explain]If not in dialogue, delete it.
[allcase]then
[explain]If showing a sequence of events, either remove “then” or try using “and” instead of “then.” Using “then” frequently sounds repetitive and even juvenile.
[allcase]totally
[explain]Doesn't add useful information to a sentence. Use an adverb relevant to the situation instead.

Feel free to share your custom lists in the forum!

Alternatively, you can use the list we already prepared for you. You can find it here:

(just copy GDoc content to the grammar.txt file that the program reads from)
