 accidental.

 Of course there is.  "Laterz" is always going to be intentional, and never
 accidental.  So you have at least one to remove.  I am sure there are more
 like that.

 "Prolly", "cuz", "dunno", and so on are borderline, but you should
 consider removing them, too.  Are they just there as a shortcut, or do you
 really believe that people are going to type in "cuz" accidentally when
 they mean "because"?

 Should these typing shortcuts really be part of the default installation
 or should they be provided by the user?
