DESCRIPTION
Style analyzes the surface characteristics of the writing style of
a document. It reports on readability, sentence length and
structure, word length and usage, verb type, and sentence openers.
Because style runs deroff(1) before looking at the text, formatting
header files should be included as part of the input. The default
macro package -ms may be overridden with the flag -mm. The flag
-ml, which causes deroff(1) to skip lists, should be used if the
document contains many lists of non-sentences. The other options
are used to locate sentences with certain characteristics.

-a print all sentences with their length and readability index.

-e print all sentences that begin with an expletive.

-p print all sentences that contain a passive verb.

-l num
print all sentences longer than num.

-r num
print all sentences whose readability index is greater than
num.

-P print parts of speech of the words in the document.
