Canonical homophone is always the longest word

See original GitHub issue

https://github.com/knausj85/knausj_talon/blob/ffeaa0269487510e99db11e7d8bcefe05157b135/code/homophones.py#L38

Per discussion in #help, phones is picking the longest word of a set as the canonical. Proposed alteration is canonical_list.append(words[0]) and then sorting the sets of homophones by frequency and possibly length.

The word frequency list is at https://bochs.info/~aegis/popular-words.txt (for future reference in case it leaves slack history)

I’m going to close this as resolved for now. The plan on dynamic updating of phones priority is cool, and probably best addressed as a new broader issue IMHO.
