Rule suggestion

2015-03-31 Thread Torsten Wagner
Hi,

as I read on the website you are looking for suggestions of new rules,
even if they seem to be trivial.
I found that the languagetool return a lot of false positive for
abbreviations ending with an s. Languagetool assumes that you might
use the plural from of the word wrongly.

Message: Don't use indefinite articles with plural words. Did you mean
a lap or simply LAPS? (deactivate) Correction: a lap; LAPS Context:
...range and the handling of a LAPS required a good amount of
experience an...

The S here stands for sensor and is not a plural s
Other examples of abbreviations which just jump out of my mind are

ADHS (german form of  Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder )
PS postscript
FPS frames per second
LTS long term support
DDS direct digital synthesis

Most of the time those abbreviations are written with all capital letters.
Maybe the above rule can be enhanced to exclude words written in all
capital letters.

Thanks for the great software

Torsten

Hello!

I am improving the British speller (forked).

If you find missing words, please open a case in my GitHub:
https://github.com/marcoagpinto/aoo-mozilla-en-dict

I will try to add all the words provided they exist in official 
dictionaries/sources.


This means I will investigate each one.

Thanks!

Kind regards,
  Marco A.G.Pinto
