Remove archaic verb forms

archaic-verb-forms

Detects forms tagged as future subjunctive, generally considered archaic in current usage.

Usage of this metric

When enabled and matches are found, the report contains one item with this metric_id in result.suggestions. Absence means no match was found, not that the metric was not evaluated.

Location in the resultresult.suggestions[]metric_id = "archaic-verb-forms"

Calculation method

Looks for FreeLing tags starting with VSSF, VASF or VMSF, including vaux-cat, while excluding auxiliaries.

Result interpretation

Each `occurrences` item identifies an affected span. `start` is inclusive and `end` exclusive, both measured in Unicode code points over the submitted text. `replacement`, `alternatives` and `edits` contain values only when a safe change is available. Absence means no match was found, not necessarily that the text is correct.

Limitations

Results depend on FreeLing/DiSeg tagging and may contain false positives or miss ambiguous constructions.
