<example>We can learn ways to manage complex relationships with colleagues.</example>
</rule>This rule matches some sentences which are, I think, correct, e.g.:
“it is futile to seek meaning in life”
“so it is difficult to see how to identify”
“At six months of age it is able to dig its own burrows”
“Is it possible to take a shuttle bus from the airport to the hotel?”
“Is it dangerous to take a subway alone?”
Thanks, I’ve added this rule.
Thanks, it is not a robust rule.
Thanks, I’ve added this rule, too.

</rule>Thanks, I’ve added all rules except UPPERCASE_WORDS_AFTER_COMMA. I’m not sure about that rule yet, it’s correct, but maybe we should check uppercase everywhere, not just after a comma?
