The words are associated with overemphasizing a point. Of those, I'd guess "just" and "only" trigger the most, and they'll often be embedded in NXY patterns. The tool calls these "Lady doth protest:" >Lady doth protest >The full quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet is "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." When you want to make a point, make the point. Extra words of enthusiasm, usually in the form of adverbs, can often be deleted to make writing stronger. Lady Doth Protest looks for words like "just," "truly," "really," "fully," etc. Remember what Ronald Reagan said, "If you're explaining, you're losing."
