Issue with strokes for "find*"

[paulfioravanti]

In the current dict.json file, there are the following strokes entries for words starting with "find", all of which are valid in Plover release weekly-v4.0.0.dev8+66.g685bd33:

"TPAOEUPBD": "find",
"TPEUPBD": "find",
"TPAOEUPB/TKER": "finder",
"TPAOEUPBD/*ER": "finder",
"TPAOEURPBD": "finder",
"TPAOEUPBD/ERS": "finders",
"TPAOEPBGD": "finding",
"TPAOEUBD/-G": "finding",
"TPAOEUPBGD": "finding",
"TPAOEUPBD/-GS": "findings",
"TPAOEUPBGDZ": "findings",
"TPHAOEUPBD": "find it",
"TPAOEUPBDZ": "finds",
"TPHAOEUPBD/T-S": "find that it's",

Most of these entries use the stroke AOEU for the "ī" sound in "find", and this would lead me to believe that perhaps entries that shorten that sound, like "TPEUPBD": "find" could be mis-strokes.

Entries that use the shortened "ī" sound (in different ways) for "find" are present in many of the entries in other dictionaries:

So, my questions are:

• Are strokes that use anything other than AOEU for "find*" mis-strokes, and hence should be moved tobad-habits.json?
• If so, should the entries in all the other dictionaries linked to above be changed to their AOEU-using counterparts?

Thanks @paulfioravanti. The entries using the short "i" sound might be considered briefs as well as misstrokes. To make it predictable for beginners learning stenography, it might be worth switching them to the long "i" sound, with a note in the commit message that they can be briefs as well as misstrokes.

Thanks, @didoesdigital. In that case, I'll put in a PR that leaves dict.json alone as the short "i" sounds are not considered mis-strokes, and just change out the entries in four entries mentioned above.
