Description

I heard somebody say "capitalize off" instead of "capitalize on" on YouTube, verified that it's really a mistake and is reasonably common.

I'm using the new Weir directory with multiple files for the variants under a single name, rather than my good old phrase_set_corrections.

They cover all 4 verb inflections with both the -ize and -ise spellings, and with both "off" and "off of".

Lessons learned:

1. In expr main the parentheses are optional if there's only one variation but compulsory if there are multiple:

• expr main capitalise off of ✅
• expr main (capitalise off of) ✅
• expr main [capitalise off of, capitalise off] ❌
• expr main [(capitalise off of), (capitalise off)] ✅

2. When two variants share all the words but one has an extra word, the longer variant must be listed first:

• expr main [(capitalise off), (capitalise off of)] ❌
• expr main [(capitalise off of), (capitalise off)] ✅
