I'm not Charles, but I've used it before. Like any other tool, it can be
incredibly useful for consistency, but it also hits on a lot of things that
just don't make sense... it's not a person.
As a convenient way to check on a document with different programs, it's
useful. It checks the spelling, the grammar, word choice, and does
readability tests. Note that some of these things are present in UNIX
already, but WWB provides a convenient interface.
