Ignorance is bliss
Has it been frustrating when Credosity marks you down for business jargon you have to use? Now you can ‘ignore’ it.
If you love nailing a 100% Cred score for your writing, but have to use ‘intaxication‘, ‘Dopeler Effect‘ or ‘sarchasm‘* at work, your time has come!
We’ve built a brand-new brain into Credosity, so it now remembers your preferences from one session to another.
Like your spelling and grammar checker, if you often have to write business jargon such as ‘security quality indicators’, you can now tell Credosity to:
- Ignore once, and it’ll ignore it, but find it again in that document or email;
- Ignore all, and it’ll turn a blind eye to all instances in that doc or email; or
- Ignore always, and it’ll NEVER tell you again, in any doc or email.
This means, over time, you’ll build up your preferences and Credosity will become faster and easier for you to use, in both Word and Outlook.
WARNING
‘Ignore’ carefully: Even if you have to use big words, they still lower your readability.
Where is it?
You’ll now see these ‘ignore’ options under Readability >> Plain English & Brevity, as in the first image above.

Because ignorance (in reality) ain’t great for your cred, we’ve added some of our all-time best communication tips to our holding screen. Here’s how they look:
So now you don’t even have to open Credosity to get value!
