Too many noun-ending sentences
taigen-dome-in-proseon by default (info)Japanese
Many Japanese sentences that stop on a noun and read as unfinished
Example
How to fix
Add the predicate.
Why it matters
One noun-ending sentence lands. Several in a row read as unfinished. Bullet lists are excluded, where the form is normal.
What it does not flag
Noun endings in bullet lists, where the form is normal, are not counted. Nor are the entries of a list of notes or references written as paragraphs numbered (1), (2), (3) in order that cite sources (a URL or a year), which list names and titles.
