The THREE_NN rule is a bad rule anyway in my opinion. It's too noisy. See what it signals here: http://community.languagetool.org/corpusMatch/list?lang=en&filter=THREE_NN&typeFilter=&_action_list=Filter Some of them are not even 3 nouns in a row but contain verbs (clear false positives) such as in "Government revenue comes mainly from [...]". But even when it flags 3 nouns, it's still annoying because it's not incorrect. I'd prefer to see the rule removed or at least disabled by default. If users see too many false positives or nitpicky style errors, they stop trusting errors or stop using LT.
