About "usage" in BIP39
- "usage" has 5 letters, but the first three, "usa", already identify it, because "us" also begins use, used, useful, useless and usual. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- The same spelling is in the French BIP39 wordlist, but as word #1955 (index 1954), not #1917. A wallet set to French reads "usage" as 11110100010 instead of 11101111100, and decodes index 1916 as "trésor".
