I can't reproduce this -- could you share the full sentence / file of the false positive?

[pirj]

Sure, here you go:

37:218   suggestion  Try to avoid using 'be'.        write-good.E-Prime
37:233   suggestion  Try to avoid using 'be'.        write-good.E-Prime

Line 37:

Why? Answers to those questions come to you sooner or later when you join a company. And often times that truth is not something you can change or deal with. And have to change your employer, again. Some things are better to know before making a serious decision. If you are not primarily motivated by the salary, those questions are for you. They can reveal the factors that make your daily job a breeze, or a nightmare.

column 218 has better, column 233 has before.

If it does matter, here's the file. It doesn't seem to be the exactly the same revision it hiccups on, but the wording is roughly the same.

This is a bug with Vale itself (not write-good) and it'll be fixed in the next release.

Good to know, thanks a lot!
