Issue with stroke for "leading" #105

Closed paulfioravanti closed 4 years ago

paulfioravanti commented 4 years ago

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

"HRAEGD": "leading",
"HRAOED/-G": "leading",
"HRAOEGD": "leading",

In the top-10000-project-gutenberg-words.json dictionary, the stroke for "leading" used is:

https://github.com/didoesdigital/steno-dictionaries/blob/c057ce8e7a1a43e0593f627eb9b43f0d09f79d85/dictionaries/top-10000-project-gutenberg-words.json#L1345

This entry can also be found in ux-design.json:

Although Plover says it's a valid stroke, I feel that "HRAOEGD": "leading" with the elongated "ē" sound (AOE) is a more accurate entry pronunciation-wise (and all the other entries use AOE), and so would like to propose:

Since "HRAEGD": "leading" is used in ux-design.json, which I'm assuming is more of a custom, opinionated dictionary, depending on how you feel about the "HRAEGD": "leading" entry:

The AE vowel keys for "leading" and "lead" make sense if you ever wanted to use the AE disambiguation rule to distinguish them from "leed" or "lede".

In the context of design, "leading" in typography may be pronounced "ledding", rhyming with "bedding".

For these reasons, I'd prefer to leave "leading" as it is.

Sounds good to me. Thank you for those links!
