//These are patterns for things that might look like sentence splits but they
//should not be used as such.

// Lines starting with // are comments; empty lines are ignored

//The Java RegEx matching machine is eager to return the first match
//because of this, the explicit abbreviations need to appear before the
//generic patterns so that for example "a.m." is matched in preference to
//"a.m" (which would match under the internet address rule).
