Don't think I'm technically supposed to approve PRs, so I'll stick it in a comment, but this looks good to me. I'm an English-is-my-first-language guy, and I'd agree with priorities and capitalization edits: they're consistent with the way I speak English and the way people around me speak English.

Also @ngoomie : 99% of my work is done in multiple commits, so whether that's bad form or not, I'm with you :) |

Thanks taking time improving the dictionary! I agree about the new words and the text case corrections. There are words wrongly in uppercase in all languages, but it is simply impossible for me to find and correct them. Please, do report such words in the future. However, I disagree about removing "zoot". It has a frequency of 60, so it isn't so uncommon. Let's keep it. Now, as for "-ing", could you provide examples of what you need to type? Adding "-ing" means you will be able to type words like this "someword-ing", while I suppose you are looking to type "somewording"? Don't worry about the number of commits. As a minimum, I'll also generate the Ping @ngoomie. |

@sspanak The only specific example I can think of is I recently said "housewife-ing" when trying to shorthandedly refer to the things housewives do, since "housewifing" isn't really a word and also looks slightly off (though I later figured out "housewifery" is, which sort of means what I meant) — that's kind of generally how I tend to use it + how I see others use it too |
|
For the hell of it I went through a couple large or old Discord servers I'm in, and found:
Also worth a mention: I guess it's somewhat common to use 'ing instead of -ing a lot depending on the context... like I saw @'ing a lot more than @-ing, or sometimes Ctrl-F'ing instead of with a dash, or actually all of the emoji examples were with an apostrophe, as in 😂'ing. So maybe it'd be good to just put in bare 'ing' on its own instead. I almost forgot too that "Ing" is also a surname, so then putting it in without the dash would make it easier to type that surname |
|
So I guess "Ing" the surname was already in there. Weird then that I never saw it when typing out 464 until I added "ing" to my personal dictionary :? |
|
Yes, there may be other issues too. I'll double check before merging. Also, I would like to keep "zoot". |
|
I'm not so good with git and don't really know how to undo one commit while keeping the contents of later ones so I'll have to look that up later, or maybe just leave it to you? |
|
Probably most simple way is to just reinsert "zoot" as a new commit. For future reference, I think this StackOverflow question should kinda answer what you're wondering. In your case, you'd probably want to reset to the "zoot" commit, then undo the change on zoot, then recommit... but tbh committing a reinsert would probably be faster. |

I'll add it back, don't worry. |

Sorry if it was weird to do these in multiple commits. I also don't know if I did the priorities right, I assumed lower number = shows up later in the list? Sorry too if I got sorting wrong.
