Remove prominent misstrokes

didoesdigital opened this issue · 1 comments

The aim is to remove all the misstrokes from dict.json to give new stenographers greater confidence in learning new briefs.

The first step is to remove all the misstrokes for the shortest available brief for every word, starting with words appearing in Typey Type's top 10,000 words lessons. If there’s a misstroke in a longer word, it is less likely to be suggested by Typey Type or dictionary look up tools.

The same misstrokes may appear in top words dictionaries and Australian English dictionaries and ought to be removed from them as well.

After amending 1074 entries in top-10000-project-gutenberg-words.json since opening this issue, I'm declaring this issue done!

The most prominent misstrokes in the top 10000 words have been replaced with better briefs.

Big thanks go to @paulfioravanti ! 👏👏👏
