False positives
I ran this through the release note for the code base I work on, which is an ascii format file; I got the following false reports:
DataSource for Java was updated from 6.2.2-296613 to 6.2.5-300333.
causes
garner.dates When specifying a date range, write 'from X to Y'.
Wrong because it is not a valid date format.
Resolved an issue with the margin on the spot rate being applied the
write_good.cliches 'on the spot' is a cliché.
Wrong because spot rate is the subject.
When prices are nulled in the Reuters Admin applet, or the panic button is pressed
write_good.cliches 'panic button' is a cliché.
Again, wrong because 'panic button' is not a figure of speech.
Finally
butterick.symbols.curly_quotes Use curly quotes “”, not straight quotes "".
butterick.symbols.curly_quotes Use curly quotes “”, not straight quotes "". Found 56 times elsewhere.
butterick.symbols.ellipsis '...' is an approximation, use the ellipsis symbol '…'.
Wrong because of the file format.
