About the Twain Editor 

Step back into the age of wit and wisdom with the Twain Editor — a playful writing companion inspired by the sharp tongue and timeless advice of Mark Twain himself. This interactive editor helps students refine their writing by gently highlighting stylistic missteps, from five-dollar words to tired clichés. Each suggestion appears as a Twain-style remark, turning every edit into a lesson in clarity, brevity, and humor. Write simply, write boldly — and let Twain remind you that the lightning bug is never quite the lightning.
