Rule 3 seems to contradict Rule 2 in regards to tropes starting with the word \
to:
Rule 3 (shorter words first) seems to contradict Rule 2 (ignore spaces) in regards to tropes starting with the word \\\"I\\\". The \\\"I\\\" in INeedAFreakingDrink is a shorter word than the \\\"Indy\\\" in IndyPloy, so INeedAFreakingDrink should be earlier in the list according to rule 3. Rule 2 says IndyPloy should come first.

According to rule 2, you get trope lists looking like this:
* IAmSpartacus
* IndyPloy
* INeedAFreakingDrink
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy

...does that look right to \\\'\\\'anyone\\\'\\\'? What about \\\"BadassLongcoat\\\" coming before \\\"BadWriting\\\" because W is after A?
