Frequently asked questions
Does it understand abbreviations like "Mr." or "e.g."?
No — it splits on any run of text ending in ., !, or ?, so "Mr. Smith left." is counted as two sentences ("Mr." and "Smith left.") rather than one.
Are "Questions" and "Exclamations" counted per sentence or per punctuation mark?
Per punctuation mark — a sentence like "Wait, really?!" contains one "?" and one "!", so it adds to both counts even though it's a single sentence.
What happens with repeated punctuation, like "Really...?"?
Consecutive terminators are treated as the end of one sentence, not several — the sentence boundary greedily consumes all the trailing .!? characters together.
