Ironically, the image at the top says 'replace by' when it should be 'replace with'.

Actually, all the text across the site needs a thorough edit (by a human). Here are just a few examples of what the tool likely passed but that would have been flagged by a competent human editor:

"Nitpicker was written by Niels Lohmann during the final stages of this thesis." > ... his thesis

"At that time, every second page looked like the one on the left when it came back from his supervisor. " > ... on the right.

And if you feed the site's own copy into the analyzer, it complains not only about the use of passive voice, but also that "Unnecessary specification of gender is widely regarded as sexist. Probably recast the sentence."

The errors themselves have errors:

"Make sure you the negation of 'can' applies to the activity rather than to the ability to carry out the activity."
