'Set' does not trigger Vale #34

Open pivic opened 3 years ago

pivic commented 3 years ago

I just tried using Vale server with the Chrome extension on a page where 'set' is used in a way that Microsoft are against: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/style-guide/a-z-word-list-term-collections/s/set-specify

This is what Microsoft say about 'set':

Avoid generic terms such as set and specify to describe customer actions. Try to use more specific verbs.

I could be wrong, but I believe Vale should trigger when the term 'set' is used.

P.s. I have configured Vale server to use Microsoft Writing Style Guide (MSWSG), and they work perfectly in tandem; I downloaded the very latest version of the MSWSG from this repo yesterday.

This rule hasn't been implemented yet. A non-trivial amount of the style guide is currently supported, but the A-Z word list coverage isn't great at the moment.

See https://github.com/errata-ai/Microsoft/issues/15 for a related discussion.
