Thanks for this! Personally, it doesn't bother me; I don't "train"
it. It just gets more correct over time. And not being persistent means
that I don't really need an editor to remove incorrect expansions.

Still, if it's a problem for you, it's fair that you mention them. I
would deal with the issue by using desktop.el (which will persist your
sessions). pabbrev.el then does it's thing in the background.
