The term checker gives a message that the word is a verb, but it is lexical verb (as in, "When you can the beans..."). STE_RULE_1_4_VERB_PRESENT_PARTICIPLE.

Reason: LT Options is changed to 3 tabs, and rules with type "style" are automatically shown on Style tab. The change to "register" keeps the rules on the same tab (Grammar). - Changed the rules in category STE_RULE_1_1_NOT_APPROVED such that if a word is unapproved only as a noun, a verb, or an adjective, a rule does not give a warning if the word has a different part of speech. (New rules in category STE_RULE_1_1_UNKNOWN find the word.) For example, the verb 'gush' is not approved: Verb: "... water will gush from the hole" causes a warning because 'gush' is a verb. "A gush of water can cause damage to the equipment" does not cause a warning because 'gush' is a noun. - In category STE_RULE_1_1_UNKNOWN, added these rules to give messages for a word that is unapproved only as a noun, a verb, or an adjective, but which has a different part of speech: STE_RULE_1_1_NOT_APPROVED_VERB_USED_AS_A_NOUN STE_RULE_1_1_NOT_APPROVED_NOUN_USED_AS_A_VERB STE_RULE_1_1_NOT_APPROVED_ADJECTIVE_USED_AS_A_NOUN STE_RULE_1_1_NOT_APPROVED_ADJECTIVE_USED_AS_A_VERB - Removed incorrect suggestions from these rules: STE_APPROVED_MEANING_alert_ALERT STE_APPROVED_MEANING_alert_ALERTS - Removed: STE_APPROVED_MEANING_read_READING - Added: STE_NOT_APPROVED_reading_READING 2018-01-01 disambiguation-ste7.xml - Removed all the examples, because examples are used for testing only. - Removed 'GAGE' as a TN, because in American English, the usual spelling is GAUGE. Refer to the examples in ASD-STE100 and to Merriam Webster's dictionary. - Removed STE_INFLECTION_NOT_APPROVED_VERB_LEXICAL_PRESENT_PARTICIPLE_2_WORD-CONFORMING-TO (changed the name and added the rule to disambiguation-projectterms.xml.) disambiguation-projectterms.xml - Removed PROJECT_TN_NOUN_SINGULAR_3_WORD_ATA_ISPEC_2200 - Added PROJECT_PROPER_NOUN_3_WORD_ATA_ISPEC_2200 - Added PROJECT_INFLECTION_NOT_APPROVED_TVb_PRESENT_PARTICIPLE_2_WORD-CONFORMING-TO grammar-ste7.xml - Removed category STE_AME_BRE because the term checker uses the LanguageTool spelling checker for standard English words such as 'color/colour', 'liter/litre', and 'refueled/refuelled'. - Added category STE_SPELLING_BRE (name = 'STE 7, rule 1.14. Use British English (override American English)'). Select this rule if you use British English. - Removed all but two examples in each rule, because most examples are used for testing only. Each rule has one 'correct' example and one 'incorrect' example, which you see when you get more information about a warning (www.simplified-english.co.uk/features.html#more-information). - Removed ' correction=""' from the examples, because it is not necessary. - Corrected STE_RULE_3_5_ING_MULTI_WORDS to give the correct analysis of project terms. - Corrected the antipatterns in category STE_PHRASAL_VERBS. - Corrected the short name and the message for 'STE 7, rule 8.3.1' to 'STE 7, rule 8.2.1'. - Removed rule STE_NOT_APPROVED_reading_READING - Added rule STE_APPROVED_MEANING_read_READING 2017-11-10 disambiguation-projectterms.xml - Added PROJECT_TVb_PRESENT_PARTICIPLE 2017-10-01 disambiguation-ste7.xml - Added REMOVE_POSTAGS_FOR_NON_STANDARD_CAPITALIZATION. The LanguageTool spell checker gives a warning only if a word has the part of speech 'null', that is, it has no postags. This rule removes the STE and project postags if a word has a non-standard capitalization. (Example: The gas is DANGERous.) Thus, the LanguageTool spell checker identifies the term as a spelling error. - Improved the rules in rulegroup STE_TN_ADJECTIVE_UNITS_OF_MEASUREMENT. Terms with incorrect capitalization are not given a postag. Thus, the term checker identifies them as unknown (rule 1.1). Examples: 9-Volt, 9-vOLT. - Improved the rules for mass nouns (non-count nouns) to give better disambiguation. - Removed STE_TN_NOUN_SINGULAR_NON_COUNT_1_WORD and put the terms into new rules that have the structure STE_TN_NOUN_SINGULAR_NON_COUNT_1_WORD-R-1-5-n. disambiguation-projectterms.xml - Changed PROJECT_TN_NOUN_SINGULAR_1_WORD. (Removed the word 'copyright'.) - Added PROJECT_TN_NOUN_SINGULAR_NON_COUNT_1_WORD. (Contains 'copyright' and 'sea'.) grammar-ste7.xml - Improved these rules to prevent some false positive warnings: STE_APPROVED_MEANING_about_ABOUT STE_APPROVED_MEANING_by_BY STE_APPROVED_MEANING_or_OR STE_APPROVED_MEANING_over_OVER - Improved these rules to prevent two warnings for one problem: STE_NOT_APPROVED_comply_COMPLY (and other inflections). If COMPLY is in the term COMPLY WITH, there are no error messages. RULE_1_1_FORMS_OF_APPROVED_NOUNS. Removed those terms that have part-of-speech rules. - Improved some messages in rulegroup STE_SETUP. - Added a note to terms in rule 1.12.4 to show that the term is approved only in operational texts. 2017-07-04 disambiguation-ste7.xml - Added missing TNs. Now, all 1-word TNs and most multi-word TNs from rule 1.5 are in term checker. (If a term is not approved in your organization, make a grammar rule to say 'do not use'.) - Deleted these rules: IS_IS_ADJECTIVE_NOUN_square_meter IS_IS_PREPOSITION_THESE_NOUN_PLURAL IS_NOUN_article_noun-TN1_noun-TN2-verb_aux IS_NOUN_determiner_noun_preposition IS_NOUN_determiner_noun_to_noun-not-verb IS_NOUN_determiner_noun-singular_preposition IS_NOUN_not-sent-start_article_noun-singular_preposition IS_NOUN_of_noun-not-adjective IS_NOUN_possessive-pronoun_noun-singular IS_VERB_be_adverb_adjective_to_verb IS_VERB_conjunction_article_noun_verb-2-word_comma IS_VERB_make-sure-that IS_VERB_start-of-sentence_verb-2-word IS_VERB_to_verb-2-word-base_particle STE_VERB_AUXILIARY_BE_HAVE STE_VERB_AUXILIARY_NEGATED_BE_HAVE - Added these rules: IS_ADJECTIVE_determiner_adjective_noun_of IS_ADJECTIVE_NOUN_square_meter IS_ADJECTIVE_NOUN_VERB-AUX-PAST IS_ADJECTIVE_sent-start_adjective_colon IS_ADJECTIVE_sent-start_not_adjective_colon IS_BE_ADJECTIVE_TO_VERB-BASE IS_BE_ADVERB_ADJECTIVE_TO_VERB-BASE IS_NOUN_adverb_comma_noun-plural_verb-3rdpers IS_NOUN_are-were_noun-plural_preposition IS_NOUN_article_noun_noun_noun_verb_aux IS_NOUN_article_noun_noun_verb_aux IS_NOUN_article_noun-TN1_noun-TN2_verb-aux IS_NOUN_article_number_noun_conjunction IS_NOUN_article_quote_noun_noun_noun_quote-verb_aux IS_NOUN_article_quote_noun_noun_quote-verb_aux IS_NOUN_chap-fig_I IS_NOUN_comma_table_digit-letter_comma IS_NOUN_DIGIT_VERB IS_NOUN_noun_digit-letter_is-was IS_NOUN_number_day_apostrophe-s_time IS_NOUN_of_noun IS_NOUN_PREPOSITION_article_noun_to_verb-base IS_NOUN_PREPOSITION_NOUN IS_NOUN_PREPOSITION_NOUN-PLURAL_VERB IS_NOUN_sent-start_noun-plural_preposition_verb IS_NOUN_table_digit-letter_comma_table_digit-letter IS_NOUN_TO_VERB-BASE IS_NOUN_verb_noun-singular-non-count_adverb IS_NOUN_word_I IS_NOUN-PLURAL_PREPOSITION IS_NOUN-SINGULAR_ADVERB_sentence-end IS_NOUN-SINGULAR_PREPOSITION IS_NOUN-SINGULAR_PREPOSITION_PREPOSITION IS_PREPOSITION_THESE_NOUN_PLURAL IS_sent-start_VERB-BASE_CONJUNCTION_VERB-BASE IS_VERB_article_noun-singular_verb-3rdpers-preposition IS_VERB_determiner_noun-plural_verb-base_verb_particle_punctuation-separator IS_VERB_determiner_noun-singular_verb-3rdpers_particle_punctuation-separator IS_VERB_make-sure_determiner IS_VERB_noun-singular_verb-base_verb_particle_question-mark IS_VERB_pronoun_verb-modal_verb_noun IS_VERB_start-of-sentence_verb-base_verb_particle IS_VERB_to_verb-base_verb_particle IS_VERB-BASE-VI_TO_VERB-BASE NUMBER_LIST_ITEM_STARTS_THE_SENTENCE-4 PROPER_NOUN_WITH_TRADEMARK_SYMBOLS_IS_NNP REMOVE_POS_NNP_LOWERCASE_CHEMICAL_SYMBOLS STE_TN_NOUN_PROPER_article_quote_noun_noun_quote STE_TN_NOUN_PROPER_one-word-quoted STE_TN_NOUN_PROPER_refer_to_first-word-quoted STE_VERB_AUXILIARY_BE STE_VERB_AUXILIARY_HAVE STE_VERB_AUXILIARY_NEGATED_BE STE_VERB_AUXILIARY_NEGATED_HAVE grammar-ste7.xml Added these rules: - RULE_1_2_POS-2-word-verb - RULE_8_2_PREFIX_HYPHEN - RULE_8_2_3_LETTERS - RULE_8_2_3_NUMBERS Changed STE_RULE_3_4_MODAL and STE_RULE_3_4_HAVE_PAST_PARTICIPLE so that they do not highlight large blocks of text. General corrections: - Rules that contained a false negative example showed the false negative as a suggestion for the 'correct' text. This error is corrected. - Incorrect error messages for multi-word TV are corrected.

Use Technical Verbs only as verbs" 2017-01-02 disambiguation-ste6.xml - Added ADD_VERB-INTRANSITIVE. - Added many rules for the disambiguation of nouns, verbs, and adjectives. disambiguation-projectterms.xml - Changed PROJECT_TN_NOUN_SINGULAR_1_WORD_CASE_SENSITIVE to PROJECT_PROPER_NOUNS and changed the postag PROJECT_TN_NOUN_SINGULAR to NNP (which means proper noun). grammar-ste6.xml - Merged the rules STE_RULE_1_2_POS-noun-singular_not-adjective and RULE_1_2_POS-noun-singular_not-verb into STE_RULE_1_2_POS-noun-singular. 2016-10-01 disambiguation-ste6.xml - Added a missing exception (STE_TVb_3RDPERS_SING) to rule STE_RULE_1_2_POS-noun-plural_not-verb - Added missing Technical Verbs for Rule 1.13.1 and 1.13.2. Now all TV from Rule 1.13 are in the term checker. - Added some Technical Names. - Changed STE_VERB_AUXILIARY_CONTRACTION_BE_WILL to STE_VERB_AUXILIARY_CONTRACTION_BE_HAVE_WILL and corrected the rule. - Changed the rules in rulegroup NOUN_PROPER_E-MAIL_ADDRESSES because LT changed the way that e-mail addresses are analyzed. - Removed redundant rule IS_VERB_verb-base_adverb_not-verb disambiguation-projectterms.xml - Added Cascading Style Sheet(s) as a 3-word example. grammar-ste6.xml - Added STE_RULE_3_1_NOT_APPROVED_CONTRACTION-HAVE - Added these abbreviations to the prefix rules: ab, auto, ity, ive - Added approximately 200 terms to category STE_UNKNOWN. - Changed the prefix and suffix rules to give warnings for uppercase text and non-standard typography. - Changed the sequence of rules in rulegroup RULE_8_3. If a term is both approved and not-approved (example 'sample'), the message is about the approved term. - Removed STE_NOT_APPROVED_copy_COPYING, because the verb is a Technical Verb. - Removed STE_NOT_APPROVED_magnetized_MAGNETIZED, STE_NOT_APPROVED_magnetised_MAGNETISED, STE_NOT_APPROVED_insulated_INSULATED because the verbs are Technical Verbs. - Removed alternative nouns from suggestions in Rule STE_USE_VERB, because Rule 3.8 is about using verbs in preference to nouns.

All rules for the STE term checker start with 'STE'. - Added rulegroup RULE_1_2_FORMS-OF-APPROVED-KEYWORDS-NOUNS (refer to ASD-STE100 page 2-0-5) - Corrected STE_RULE_1_6_USE_A_TN-NOUN_ONLY_AS_A_NOUN-1-word-singular - Corrected rules for multi-word not-approved terms such as 'blank off' to prevent 2 error messages, for example, one message for 'blank' and one message for 'blank off'. 2016-04-05 disambiguation-ste6.xml - Added these rules: STE_TN_CHARACTER_ENTITY_REFERENCE IS_NOUN_number-cardinal_noun-plural - Removed these unnecessary rules: IMMUNIZE_RATES IS_VERB_DO_verb IS_NOUN_article_noun_of-for IS_ADJECTIVE_NOT_VERB_verb_modifier_adj_noun - Improved these rules: IS_NOUN_modifier_noun-plural IS_VERB_start-of-sentence-or-clause_verb Rules in rulegroup NOUN_PROPER_MATHS grammar-ste6.xml - Added rule IDs for LanguageTool version 3.3. - Added rule STE_RULE_1_16_USE_CONSISTENT_SPELLING_SI_UNITS_NUMBER_SYMBOL_SPACE - Added rulegroup GESG-3-12_NOT_NEGATED_ADJECTIVE-ADVERB - Changed the name of STE_RULE_1_4_ADJECTIVES_PREFIX to STE_RULE_1_1_ADJECTIVES_PREFIX, because Rule 1.4 is about inflections, not about prefixes. - Changed the token in STE_RULE_1_1_USE_APPROVED_WORDS. Previously, some typographic errors were not found because they were analysed as equations. - Moved many rules from category STE_SPECIFIC to category STE_COMBINED. - In category TS_DEBUG, changed the type from "non-conformance" to "other". 2016-01-04 disambiguation-ste6.xml - Added a new rulegroup: POS_DISAMBIGUATION_IDENTIFY_CONJUNCTIONS - Added some TNs grammar-ste6.xml - Added category "STE Rule 3.8 Use an approved verb to describe an action" - Added rule id="STE_GENERAL_WITH" for STE Rule GR-3. - Added rules for British English and American English ( to type="terminology" rulegroup id="RULE_1_1" name="STE Rule 1.1.

Thus, the grammar rules now give warnings for words such as these: abandon(s), sample(d), work(ed). grammar-ste3.xml - A new category "Rule 1.1 unknown term has STE equivalent" has rules that find terms that are unknown in STE. The rules give suggestions for alternative STE terms. (The evaluation version of the term checker has only 1 example rule.) - Some errors give more than one warning. For example, the word 'viz' is found by rule GESG_NOT_APPROVED_viz_VIZ and by rule STE_RULE_1_1_USE_APPROVED_WORDS. The sequence of rules is changed to show a specific problem before a general problem. - Added antipatterns to rule NOT_STANDARD_PUNCUTATION_TECHNICAL to ignore an exclamation mark in XML comments. This is primarily to prevent incorrect warnings when the term checker is used with the oXygen plugin (www.simplified-english.co.uk/installation-advanced.html#oxygen). 2015-03-30 grammar-ste3.xml - Improved the rules in these categories to give fewer incorrect warnings (false positives): Kohl GESG dictionary rules... Rule 1.3 approved meaning 2015-03-16 disambiguation-ste3.xml - Removed the immunization rules (http://wiki.languagetool.org/developing-a-disambiguator#toc9) for e-mail addresses, website addresses and so on. Added rules to give each term a postag that identifies the term as a proper noun. A grammar rule cannot find an immunized term. Thus, for example, it was not possible to find an incorrect e-mail address. Now, this is possible. - For better disambiguation, removed the postag STE_ADJECTIVE used these postags: STE_ADJECTIVE_BASE STE_ADJECTIVE_COMP STE_ADJECTIVE_SUP grammar-ste3.xml - For most messages, added possible alternative text that has the same inflection as the incorrect text. - Added antipatterns (http://wiki.languagetool.org/development-overview) to many 2-word terms to get a better analysis. - Removed rulegroups APPROVED_TN_INCORRECT_SPELLING and APPROVED_TVb_INCORRECT_SPELLING and put the terms into category name="Rule 1.14 use consistent spelling" 2015-02-22 These changes are necessary only if you use a validating XML editor. The LanguageTool utility 'testrules' does not use the URLs. disambiguation.xml In the rules element, corrected the URL for disambiguation.xsd.

(The 2013-07-24 term checker operates correctly, but testrules gives an error because the sequence of the elements 'url' and 'short' was not correct.) 2013-07-24 Changed the structure of the files to use external entities. Project terms are now separate from STE terms. Therefore, you can easily update the term checker. Use the new files disambiguation-projectterms.xml and grammar-projectterms.xml as templates for your Technical Names and Technical Verbs. disambiguation-en-asdste100-issue3-2013-07-24.xml - Added a set of rules in rulegroup STE_TN_NOUN-PROPER. The rules identify text that has uppercase initial letters as proper nouns. Use the rules with with grammar rule STE_RULE_1_1_USE_APPROVED_WORDS. - Removed rule IS_NOUN_N_Vb_MISMATCH_modifier_punctuation_noun because the rules in STE_TN_NOUN-PROPER are sufficient. grammar-en-asdste100-issue3-2013-07-24.xml - Changed rule STE_RULE_1_1_USE_APPROVED_WORDS to ignore proper nouns.
