Dictionary

I noticed these dictionary entries in:

They were found with grep "{^ed " dict.json

Misstroked entry or entries

These look like misstrokes:

"SAEUPL/-D/TE": "{^ed at the same}",
"T-D": "{^ed it}",
"THAD": "{^ed that}",
"TOD": "{^ed to}",
"TOTD": "{^ed to}",
"TPH-D": "{^ed in}",
"W-D": "{^ed with}",

These look like misstrokes because:

Expected

I would expect the outline to be:

"TE/SAEUPL": "at the same"

I would expect to see that outline because:

Even better

To make this even better, we could:

Thanks @Monniasza!

The issues with "SAEUPL/-D/TE": "{^ed at the same}", make sense to me, so I'll remove that.

"TOTD": "{^ed to}", looks like a misstroke of "TOD": "{^ed to}", with an excess -T key included, so I'll remove "TOTD": "{^ed to}",

The rest mostly look ok to me. It seems like they are using a rare Plover briefing pattern of both folding a suffix stroke into a word and flipping the steno order of them. For example, T-D lets someone write "melted it" using PHELT T-D (2 strokes) instead of PHELT/-D T (3 strokes). I'm inclined to err on the side of keeping these entries, similar to these entries

I've published the changes to Typey Type:

If that's all good, let's close this.

"melted it" can be written as PHELTD T.
