Module for Readability Analysis: Skip lists for sentence beginnings ratings #2198

What did you expect to happen?

In lists, I tend to start with the same word, which earns me a red bullet. I'd prefer it if the analysis would ignore lists.

More context: I think it would be good to exclude lists from this test as lists often contain repetitive content by design, like further reading sources or when trying to make a point by repetition. Or it's even necessary to make things clearer. E.g. imagine a medical article that lists symptoms. The reader expects a structured way of presenting them, yes? ... it does this, it does that, it can lead to ... it can also lead to... you get my gist, I think. ;)

What happened instead?

I earned a red bullet for repeated sentence beginnings in lists. Since I aim to get an overall green bullet for readability, this drives me nuts.

How can we reproduce this behavior?

Create a list where at least 3 bullets start with the same word.
