Ah, hadn't thought of that. I had a feeling there had to be more words, but couldn't come up with any off the top of my head. Apparently I write very little Norwegian in vim (I use jk for Esc).



FWIW (again, not sure about rules for joining words in Swedish):

    for abb in jk jf;
    do
      echo "Occurances of ${abb}:"
      grep ${abb} -c \
      /usr/share/dict/{bokmål,nynorsk,british*,svenska}
    done

    Occurances of jk:
    /usr/share/dict/bokmål:90
    /usr/share/dict/nynorsk:39
    /usr/share/dict/british-english-insane:20
    /usr/share/dict/svenska:70
    Occurances of jf:
    /usr/share/dict/bokmål:31
    /usr/share/dict/nynorsk:32
    /usr/share/dict/british-english-insane:0
    /usr/share/dict/svenska:0
So jf seems pretty safe for English, at least. Apart from when adding "jk" to your vimrc …


Words are joined the same way in Swedish as described above for Norwegian, so not safe there either.
