Oct 24, 2017 at 20:35	comment	added	Jim		There's no rule about consecutive word endings needing to be different. "His glass is empty." Is perfectly fine and has 3 in a row. I'm sure there's an adjective ending in 's' I could use in place of empty but all I could think of was cross which doesn't quite work.
Oct 24, 2017 at 20:09	comment	added	J.R.		I'll admit this trick may not work every time. However, multiple words have multiple meanings, so, in this case, I think the sentence remains syntactically correct and the meaning doesn't change that much.
Oct 24, 2017 at 19:47	comment	added	ktm5124		@J.R. That's a good idea. Although, I must object that "meaning" and "meanings" might have different meanings.
