The idea is good. It would've been nice if the words were replaced instead of having to hover over them. It makes some texts disappear.

Buttons break on websites, text turns wacky without words actually being replaced. May have worked in the past but doesn't now.

Take back what I said. It works well. Just not the way I expected. I thought as I typed it would suggest words to use to teach me more intelligent words. But instead it is meant for on pages like wikipedia where you just hover your mouse over words and then a box floats over the word with another word.
