A "Sentence"

This rule use sentence-splitter as library. So the definition of "Sentence" is the same as sentence-splitter.

We are talking about pens.
He said "This is a pen. I like it".
I could relate to that statement.

If you want to ignore "...", you can use skipPatterns option.

    "rules": {
        "sentence-length": {
            "max": 100,
            "skipPatterns": [
                "/\".*?\"/"
            ]
        }
    }
