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.

reword Reword is an extension that helps show what words can be harmful.

When users type a word, phrase or sentence that seems insulting, abusive, or hurtful, a red line will cross the word or words.

The extension is similar to a spell checker. Reword does not block words.

It simple alerts users to language that might offend. An Australian team developed reword to combat cyberbullying.

The developers realized that people, especially children, may not understand which words might deeply affect others.
