Why only common words?
Because that is what understanding sounds like. Postpone, utilize, commence and obtain are not in the 2,809 most common English words. Meet, use, start and get are all in the top 1,000. The second set is not worse English — it is the English people actually say out loud.
How it works
- You get something to say — a word, or a real situation.
- You say it your own way, in the box.
- Every word you type is checked against the 1,000 / 2,809 most common English words as you type.
- Then you see one way to say it, and compare.
