Hi,
I am trying to add an exception to the rule THERE_RE_MANY[6] which catches
“there are a variety …” and suggests there is a variety.
(and a few others of this sort, where I would like the tool to ignore some words from a general rule.)
I see that I have to add a rule to grammar.xml, and the tutorial on site seem to suggest that may be added either as a disambiguation or an exception.
I searched for other examples where this was done, and came up with a blank. Could any one please point me to an example of this sort, where specific words are ignored from a general rule? (for exampe for the THERE_RE_MANY[6] in grammar.xml)?
Now I have a related question. The pattern “public goods” is caught by POSSESIVE_APOSTROPHE, and I want to add an exception that would fire only if the preceding word is public or private (or an adjective.). How do I do that?
if you could explain both (catching a specific sequence and catching a part of speech) that would be really great.

POSSESIVE_APOSTROPHE, and I want to add an exception that would fire only

Which sentence exactly triggered an error with that pattern? I couldn’t
reproduce that here. I don’t have time to test it, but “not like …” works
with negate=“yes”, and several words can be matched with the pipe symbol
(|) when regexp=“yes” is activated. Something like this maybe:
The sentence is:
“The social loafing is similar to the effect of public goods dilemma”
The error is
1.) 1 55 Rule ID: POSSESIVE_APOSTROPHE[1]
Message: Possible typo: apostrophe is missing. Did you mean ‘goods’’ or ‘good’s’?
Suggestion: goods’; good’s
…l loafing is similar to the effect of public goods dilemma
I am not sure where to place the token negate definition you gave. Where should I place it in the pattern? When I looked at the other negate examples, they seem to indicate that negate works by turning off matching if a pattern was found before the pattern to be matched is found. In this case, I want to exclude a particular match from the tokens. Any idea?
