Full-width and half-width ! and ? mixed
exclamation-width-consistencyon by default (info)Japanese
Full-width ！？ and half-width !? mixed in one Japanese document
Example
How to fix
Match the way the rest of the document writes it.
Why it matters
In a Japanese document, ! and ? written both full-width (！？) and half-width (!?) make it look pasted together. chaff does not pick a side; it counts only marks touching Japanese text, each kind apart, and points at the less common way.
What it does not flag
Only marks touching Japanese text. A ? in a URL, in code or in English text is not counted.
Turning it off or relaxing it

Rewrite depth (chaff fix-plan --depth): light — words and sentences; the structure and the voice stay
