13. A computer system for automatic text evaluation, the system comprising: a rule in a database of rules, said rule having: detection logic for detecting whether a particular writing problem exists in text, the detection logic comprising at least one sign that indicates the possible occurrence or absence of the writing problem, the writing problem comprising a nominalization and the at least one sign comprising words ending in at least one of: “ion,” “ions,” “al,” “ant,” “ance,” “ancy,” “ent,” “enc,” “ency,” “ity,” “ing,” “sis,” “ise,” and “ure”; and correction logic for correcting the problem by specifying a proposed edit, the correction logic comprising logic for: determining if the sign is part of a word or word group that is present in a database of nominalization false positives; and when the sign is not part of a word or word group that is present in the database of nominalization false positives, determining an edit to propose to a user, the edit comprising changing the text to remove the nominalization; a computer processor configured to apply the rules to text; and a user interface configured to communicate any proposed edit to the user; wherein the correction logic is capable of selecting a verb closest to a detected sign and deleting the selected verb along with an article and an occurrence of the term “in” between the selected verb and the detected sign.
