Normalizing files for sentence count

I have files with many different formats and breaks in odd places. now I want to normalize them to be able to count the sentence in each file

1: I want to count the sentences is they finish with ! . ?
2: but I don't want it to count if there is no space after the Full stop. e.g. S.O.L

I have the following line but don't know how to make it work with second condition

Code:
FILES="basic/*"
for X in $FILES
do
	name=$(basename $X) 
	sed -n -e ":a" -e "$ s/\n/ /gp;N;b a" $X| tr '\. ' '\n '| tr '\? ' '\n '|tr '\! ' '\n '| grep -v "^[[:blank:]]*$" | wc -l > count/${name}
done

can someone please help me in this regards?:Smilie

NAME
style - analyze surface characteristics of a document SYNOPSIS
style [ -ml ] [ -mm ] [ -a ] [ -e ] [ -l num ] [ -r num ] [ -p ] [ -P ] file ... DESCRIPTION
Style analyzes the surface characteristics of the writing style of a document. It reports on readability, sentence length and structure, word length and usage, verb type, and sentence openers. Because style runs deroff before looking at the text, formatting header files should be included as part of the input. The default macro package -ms may be overridden with the flag -mm. The flag -ml, which causes deroff to skip lists, should be used if the document contains many lists of non-sentences. The other options are used to locate sentences with certain characteristics. -a print all sentences with their length and readability index. -e print all sentences that begin with an expletive. -p print all sentences that contain a passive verb. -lnum print all sentences longer than num. -rnum print all sentences whose readability index is greater than num. -P print parts of speech of the words in the document.

deroff(1), diction(1) BUGS
Use of non-standard formatting macros may cause incorrect sentence breaks. 7th Edition April 29, 1985 STYLE(1)
