Okay, I've been playing around with it and already found one error in a manuscript using:

a [aeiou]

But

“[.,]

which is supposed to be Expression to find commas and full stops outside quotation marks (use this if you write in US English):

only led to ellipses as in

"...

So, not wanting to spend a ton of time on this, does anybody have a link to really common regex commands that would benefit a writer. Like one quotation mark missing from the pair. Like no punctuation within a closed set of exclamation marks. Like missing punctuation. Like (above) finding commas and periods outside of quotation marks.

Thanks
