"san" is coming from Shorts.glo

After I installed the upgrade, I noticed that my existing glossaries had changed slightly. I have many new entries that had not been there before and some of them are causing minor difficulties with my original entries.

For example, I use "san" expanded to "soft and nontender" quite often and now when I type "san" it expands to "San" first.

My question is: Where did these entries come from as they are now in all my glossaries and how do I edit and/or delete the ones that are not working for me? On the same line, how do I begin to create a new glossary without all the added words?

See the link below to the message posted by Marianne on a similar subject. What happens is that Version V implicitly includes the glossary "Shorts.glo" in all glossaries if you are using the space bar or other "Phrase Expanders."

Hence the extra entries come from Shorts.glo, entries like:

san san
Then when you type san, the advisory shows:
san san
san soft and nontender
As Marianne explains, the solution is quite simple and it involves editing Shorts.glo to leave only the "doubles" that you want to retain.
