Thanks! Unless someone objects, I'm inclined to make this info-level instead of a warning, since there are valid English constructs where this is a false positive and it's a fairly minor bug. I think also requiring \s instead of \W on either end of the repeated words would be safer; that way we wouldn't warn on "foo foo", and the general rule of thumb I've been applying with description checks is that if they're quoting it, it's probably intentional. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
