English Error Collection
This page mostly contains “real-world” errors, found on the Web, in
e-mails, mailing lists etc. It’s a starting point if you want to write
rules for LanguageTool, but can’t think of an error. Please collect
errors that might be interesting for LanguageTool to detect. Errors
that a simple spell checker can detect should not be listed.
Cross-through errors that LT can already detect.
