I suggest either removing Always and Never from this rule, or add
adjectives to the exception in the last token.
<rule>
<pattern>
<token postag="SENT_START"/> <!-- or but -->
<marker>
<token
regexp="yes">Always|Hardly|Never|Rarely|Seldom</token>
</marker>
<token><exception postag="VB.*|MD"
postag_regexp="yes"/></token>
</pattern>
<message>The adverb '\2' is usually not used at the
beginning of a sentence.</message>
<url>http://faculty.washington.edu/marynell/grammar/AdverbPl.html</url>
<example type="incorrect"><marker>Always</marker> I am
happy.</example>
<example type="correct">I am <marker>always</marker> happy.</example>
<example type="correct"><marker>Always</marker> wear your
helmet.</example>
</rule>
This is an example why testing with Wikipedia is inadequate. We need
to test with non-formal styles of language.
