Comment (by endolith):

 Replying to [comment:3 datallah]:
 > Of course you're free to modify the list if you want to use these
 intentional misspellings, but that you want to use non-words and
 intentional typos isn't really a good argument to make for changing the
 default list.

 Of course I'm free to modify the list and have "a" autocorrected to
 "fdhjkwey" if I want.  This isn't about me; it's about defaults and
 typical end users.

 There are words that are not misspellings, not accidental, and not
 shortcuts.  They should not be autocorrected.

 There are things like converting the letter ''u'' to "you" and ''r'' to
 "are", which actually cause real problems much of the time when typing
 normally.  Why do these exist in the default list?
