Idea: Only have root words in word file

[tecosaur]

Due to the way this extension completes works, it may be worth removing words which differ only be a short suffix (such as plurals, etc.). Explanation/example below

• When chal- is typed,
• challenge and challenger will both be suggested
• Upon selecting challenge no space will be added
• So if one wanted challenger, one could just select challenge and press the key r
• This has the same effect as using arrow keys to select challenger but has two main advantages
  • (Minor) this method usually will be faster to do, since r sits closer to where the fingers naturally lie than the arrow keys, this holds true for other suffixes
  • (Major) by not suggesting challenge and challenger
  • Space is saved on the suggestions box
  • This opens up room for more (different) suggestions, increasing the chance that the desired word will be shown
  • Potentially makes the suggestion box look less cluttered / stuffed full of words

Bonus idea (significant undertaking): Making it so that if a word that has multiple possible suffixes is selected, new suggestions for the suffixes appear.

Do you know you can even type chalr (chal and then r) to get challenger 😏

And another possible reason is the irregular words, e.g. try and tries.

Aaah, that's quite nice :) Since now the work doesn't seem to have sufficient benefit to warrant it lets close this issue.
