Description
**The Error**
Sometimes in the process of writing and rewriting a sentence, I accidentally delete the verb of the sentence. This should be flagged as a grammar error, but is not.
**Examples (2-3):**
1. This sentence missing a word.
2. But if you're just looking for quick tips, "Bits & Pieces" the place to start.

**Potential Edge Cases**
Sometimes people write incomplete sentences for stylistic reasons, e.g. for a character that is not fluent in the language or still learning.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating the Rust grammar-checking entry point for sentence completeness and reproduce the two examples; confirm with maintainers how stylistic fragments should be handled, then add regression coverage for the agreed behavior.
