Re: Suggestion for English rule - masters thesis > master's thesis

[Nick Hough]

It would be the other way around:

If you wrote it : "my masters thesis”, because it is the thesis from your 
“masters" degree
If your master wrote it : "my master’s thesis”, because the thesis is owned 
(hence the possessive apostrophe) by the “master"

Both could be valid English. Which version is correct would depend on the 
context and desired meaning.

Cheers,

Nick

Re: Languagetool-devel Digest, Vol 117, Issue 12

[Nick Hough]

As a native English speaker I prefer "locale", but I can see how that would be 
confusing for non-native speakers.

Like Sharad suggested, I would think something simple like "Choose Language" 
would suffice.  If the currently selected variation is shown next to it in the 
form of "English (US)" or "English (UK)", it will be obvious to people that 
they can change the locale.

Regards,

Nick

Rule Editor Issue

[Nick Hough]

Hi All,

I am trying to develop some rules using the online rule editor 2, and am 
getting the following error whenever I try to evaluate the error pattern (even 
the simplest pattern returns this error).

There are problems with your rule:
Sorry, an error occurred trying to check your rule: null
Please make sure you selected the correct language for your rule - your 
selection was: English

Anyone else having issues with this? I get the same error when I click on 
expert mode and then “Check XML”.

Thanks,

Nick--

IP Address Limiting

[Nick Hough]

Hi,

I have a languagetool 2.8 instance up and running on a server, and it’s all 
working well.  The only thing I need to change is to remove the limit of 20 
requests per IP per minute - I want to make it unlimited as all of my requests 
are coming through the one proxy server.  How do I change my command to do this?

I am currently starting the languagetool server with this command:


java -cp /home/ec2-user/LanguageTool-2.8/languagetool-server.jar 
org.languagetool.server.HTTPServer --public --port 8081


Is there another argument I need to add to remove the limit?

Thanks,

Nick

 Looks nice to me. Did you run this over a corpus?
 
 Also, it would be very useful to include url element to have more 
 documentation for the end users. Link to some publicly available 
 information on the web on your rules (a good dictionary etc.).
 
 Best,
 Marcin

Yes, I have run all of the rules over the wikipedia and tatoeba corpora.  I am 
getting most of the information for these rules from written literature not 
publicly available, however I will search for appropriate URLs to add.  Is this 
mailing list the best place to post new rules in the future?
