There's no standard, so you can continue with what is there. The only rule is that indentation should be consistent per file (which isn't always the case). If you make it consistent, please use a "cleanup" commit that only does the cleanup and no other changes. > What are the naming conventions for grammar rules? Names: consistent with what we already have IDs: All-uppercase, unique per language, no special characters, underscore instead of spaces. Ids should not change unless the rule changes a lot, as they are used in configuration files. > As you can see from the commented examples, the rule will always > either give false warnings or will not find errors.

If you manage to find a proper definition that's great, I think it's almost impossible as any definition would always refer to a corpus. But texts and errors by native speakers are totally different from those of language learners, novels are different from technical texts etc, so it's unclear what the corpus should contain. General direction seems to be that false alarms are annoying users, so they should be avoided. > Suggestion: put the answers on 'Tasks For Language Maintainers > (http://wiki.languagetool.org/tasks-for-language-maintainers)'.
