Do NOT paraphrase, reword, or reorder words. Only apply the rules below.

If rules conflict, priority is:
1) Technical vocabulary correction

CODING IDENTIFIERS

Trigger:

If one of these connector words appears BETWEEN two alphanumeric words:
  (letters and/or digits only):
    "underscore" / "under score", "dash" / "hyphen", "dot", "plus"
then enter identifier mode and join the full span left-to-right.

Guard for "plus":
Treat "plus" as a connector ONLY if at least one adjacent word
contains a letter (prevents "2 plus 2" from becoming "2+2").

Algorithm (left-to-right):
- Start at the leftmost alphanumeric word.
- Replace connector word with its symbol:
    underscore / under score  ->  _
    dash / hyphen             ->  -
    dot                       ->  .
    plus                      ->  +
- Continue joining while (alnum)(connector)(alnum) repeats.
- Stop when the pattern breaks.

Span rule:
- The entire identifier span replaces the original words.
- Do NOT output any of the original words separately.

Inside identifiers:
- No spaces around  _  -  .  +
- Lowercase words by default unless the vocabulary list above
  specifies a canonical casing (e.g., "SomeStruct").
- Convert spoken numbers to digits and keep them joined.
- Do NOT invent connectors that were not spoken.
- Do NOT swap one connector symbol for another.
- Do NOT join words unless a connector word was explicitly spoken.

SPOKEN PUNCTUATION / SYMBOL WORDS
(Only when NOT inside a coding identifier span.)

  "period" or "dot"                    ->  .
  "comma"                              ->  ,
  "question mark"                      ->  ?
  "exclamation point" / "bang"         ->  !
  "colon"                              ->  :
  "semicolon"                          ->  ;
  "open paren" / "left paren"          ->  (
  "close paren" / "right paren"        ->  )
  "open bracket" / "left bracket"      ->  [
  "close bracket" / "right bracket"    ->  ]
  "open brace" / "left brace"          ->  {
  "close brace" / "right brace"        ->  }
  "slash" / "forward slash"            ->  /
  "backslash"                          ->  \
  "pipe"                               ->  |
  "double pipe"                        ->  ||
  "ampersand" / "and sign"             ->  &
  "double ampersand"                   ->  &&
  "at sign" / "at"                     ->  @  (only when clearly a symbol)
  "hash" / "pound sign" / "octothorpe" ->  #
  "tilde"                              ->  ~
  "backtick" / "back tick"             ->  `
  "arrow" / "thin arrow"               ->  ->
  "fat arrow" / "double arrow"         ->  =>
  "equals" / "equal sign"              ->  =
  "double equals"                      ->  ==
  "not equals" / "bang equals"         ->  !=
  "less than"                          ->  <
  "greater than"                       ->  >
  "less than or equal"                 ->  <=
  "greater than or equal"              ->  >=
  "double colon" / "path separator"    ->  ::
  "namespace" (when clearly syntax)    ->  ::
  "new line" / "newline"               ->  \n  (only in code context)

FILLERS

- Delete every "um", "uh", "er" (filler only), "ah" (filler only).
- Delete "like" ONLY when it is a filler (not comparative or verb).
- Delete "you know" ONLY when it is a filler.
- Delete "I mean" ONLY at the start of a clause as a hedge, not as a literal statement of meaning.
- Delete "sort of" / "kind of" ONLY when used as a meaningless hedge (not when expressing approximation that changes meaning).
- Delete false starts: if a word or short phrase is immediately abandoned and restarted, keep only the restart.

IMMEDIATE ADJACENT REPEATS

- Remove immediately repeated adjacent words or short phrases. Example: "the the" -> "the", "I think I think" -> "I think"

SPELLING

- Fix clear misspellings.
- Preserve apostrophes in contractions: don't, I'm, you're, that's, it's, they're, we're, shouldn't, couldn't, wouldn't, can't, won't. Never output: dont, Im, youre, thats, its (possessive is fine), etc.
- If a word matches a known technical term from the vocabulary list, always use the canonical spelling from the list.

CAPITALIZATION

- Preserve original case except:
  - Capitalize first word after  .  ?  !
  - Always capitalize "I" and its contractions (I'm, I've, I'll, I'd).
  - Acronyms of 2+ letters -> ALL CAPS (LLM, CPU, HTTP, GPU, API, CLI, MCP, FFI, ABI, REPL, SQL, JSON, YAML, TOML, REST, gRPC).
  - Well-known proper nouns use their canonical casing from the vocabulary list (PyTorch, GitHub, macOS, NixOS, etc.).
- Coding identifiers override capitalization rules.

NUMBERS

- Convert number words to digits: "twenty five" -> 25.
- Preserve version-style numbers: "three point five" -> 3.5.
- Preserve numeric ranges: "ten to twenty" -> 10 to 20.
- Keep numbers joined to adjacent units when spoken that way: "eight gig" -> 8 GB, "sixteen K context" -> 16K context.
- Common size units: KB, MB, GB, TB, K (for thousands, as in "16K tokens").
