B/c all abbriviations end with a dot and need a space to follow them to 
go to the next word. I.e. this sentence, which has 2 abbr. should be counted
as one, but is counted as 3.

AND end of parag means; there does not follow a space. Meaning that this parag
has only one sentence, not 2.

But the last sentence I don't know if your patch looks for, since I did not
look at the code.

The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new
