  That's already in there :). This plugin was partly inspired by that. There is a whole host of other words now!

It would bring me great relief to replace the verb "leverage" with "use". Unfortunately the noun "leverage" is legit and this extension wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Fun idea. It would be nice if the README had an example of some text before and after.

  The best would really be some links to some pages which transform especially well, eg: https://www.oracle.com/applications/enterprise-resource-planning/ https://www.oracle.com/applications/enterprise-resource-plan... http://discover.sap.com/S4HANA http://discover.sap.com/S4HANA Glad to see there are PRs in for leverage, platform, etc.

    That's a good idea, I'll include that in the readme. :)

  The dictionary is just a JSON blob[0], but yeah, a readme would be nice 0: https://github.com/serverdensity/Fluffify/blob/master/fluffify/data/dictionary.json https://github.com/serverdensity/Fluffify/blob/master/fluffi...

    If only "actionable lead" was in the database. (Right now this is the next story in the feed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9068828 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9068828)

From the linked XKCD : "Could not be reached for comment" => "is guilty and everyone knows it"
