[pt] Rule: Pequen[ao]s erros/falhas/gafes/imprecisões

Development

Hello @rjlima

Another rule:

ID: CORRIGIR_ERROS_FALHAS_GAFES_IMPRECISÕES
text: <message>Se for um texto académico, pondere melhorar a linguagem.</message>

Basically, if one would write:
“Vamos corrigir pequenos erros/falhas no texto blah blah blah”, it would suggest replacing with “pequenas imprecisões”.

Then the word “gafes” also appeared on my mind and now I am confused and not sure if it should suggest “imprecisões” + “gafes” or if “gafes” should also be in the list of words to detect: “erros/falhas/gafes”.

Academically, what is best?

I need to find the token “pequenos/pequenas” otherwise it will probably give thousands of hits making it an annoying/unhelpful rule.

Thanks!

Hi,
For Brazilians, ‘gafe’ means a social situation where someone says something incovenient, it does not apply to this case. I like ‘imprecisões’, it is academic and expresses what we want.

I also came up with a new idea for the suggestion:

<message>Se for um texto académico/científico, pondere empregar o termo 'imprecisão'.</message>

I liked the message!
