How to ignore the term “Special sets” which is a term of art in mathematics?

[Rudolf Adamkovič]

I have a LaTeX file with the following line:

\subsection{Special sets}

Alex complains:

salutis@Workstation discrete-mathematics % alex notes.tex
notes.tex
  86:13-86:20  warning  `Special` may be insensitive, use `Has a disability`, `Person with a disability`, `People with disabili
ties` instead  special  retext-equality

⚠ 1 warning

I created ~/.alexrc:

salutis@Workstation discrete-mathematics % cat ~/.alexrc
{
        "allow": ["Special sets"]
}

Yet, Alex keeps complaining.

P.S. 1: I tried to move .alexrc to the working directory (.) but that did not help.
P.S. 2: Alex is installed via Homebrew using brew install alexjs.

Hi @salutis! As I understand in the configuration file, for 'allow', you can use only the rules name. So you can allow rule:

{
  "allow": ["special"]
}

or you can disable rule for the file via comment.
I hope it help.

Thanks Alisa! I believe that should answer your question, Rudolf, so I’ll close this!
