Misleading Strokes in Plover's Dictionary
There are some misstroke entries in the Plover dictionary that are very nice (and short) but may cause issues later on, such as with word boundaries.
The recommended stroke for "and" is SKP
which is arbitrarily chosen as it is comfortable and there is little chance of a word boundary issue. There are some other strokes in the dictionary but they are only to serve as a phonetic alternative under pressure, as "and" is a common word ending.
In Plover's theory, it is recommended to use KAUPB
to start words beginning with con, and KOPB
should only be used for the word "con". However, when you look up a con word in Plover, it will only return misstrokes that contain the KOPB
stroke because the prefix doesn't require a dictionary entry.
For example, use KAUPB/KER
, not KOPB/KER
for conquer.
Other words are not easy to write phonetically because they are to be briefed, such as T-PB → continue
.
Mirabai strokes H-PB
, which is H-N
for hyphen. There is a set of misstrokes that use H-B
instead, which is okay to use.
Best stroked WAS
or WAZ
. The default dictionary has WA → was
, which is most of the time all right. However it can conflict in some cases, like WA/TKPWOPB → wagon (not "was gone")
and WA/TPHA/SA → wanna sa (not "was NASA")
.
Best stroked KWROUR
, not KWRUR
, as KWRUR
is a word ending. For example, KHROES/KWRUR → closure
versus KHROES/KWROUR → close your
