i know - i don't think that's a great idea. it'd be full of typos! :) if it's
going to pollute the dictionary with typos... they should be the user's own! :)

btw - i added the first/last names in and man did completion quality go down.
too many names. a lot of them can be strange and look nonsensical when you
actually use the dict with it all in - it suggests lots of garbage (so now
suggestion lists are huge and most of them are entire junk as they are some
bizarre name).
