Description
**What got flagged?**
**Why is this incorrect?**
The linter checks for a second noun following the mass noun, but in this case the word following is a verb.
But including the subsequent noun seems to make it a correct noun phrase or compound noun and hence not a grammatical error.
The backticks might actually hide the verb from the linter in any case?

Research direction
The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Reproduce the mass-noun warning from the attached example, then inspect how the linter handles a verb followed by a noun and text in backticks. Done means the compound noun no longer produces a false positive while valid mass-noun warnings remain.
