`HTML` turns into `HTFumo`

It's funny and caught me off guard lol, but since I work in web dev it might get annoying/confusing in the long run

I think this is a good point. I thought it would be a funny side effect, but I have also seen words containing "ML" or "AI" be replaced often enough that it can be annoying. Some examples include HTML, XML, and YAML.

One way to fix this would be to additionally match trailing spaces before or after the terms "AI" and "ML". Another way would be to let users add or remove terms. I am leaning towards the second approach because it would also address #1.

We could do this with regex word boundaries like \bML\b, since the key of the replacement dictionary is passed into a regex replace.

Nevermind, this would be problematic since the added plural terms would produce an additional \bML\bs term.

Actually, the added \bML\bs term would be ignored this regex is impossible to match. So this would be a valid solution.
