[BUG] Can't find duplicate letter words

[ErtanTaner]

Description

Problem

EddieBot can't find banned words when a person use a letter multiple in a word:

Description

When a person use a word like that:

Example 1

Foo

Bot give me error and when I fixed it, no problem. Everything okay.

Example 2

But when a person use a word like that:

FFoo

EddieBot can't understand beacuse only know Foo is bad and not FFoo

Solution

Needs a regex for that, but the problem is some words have banned words in it like Siren.

It's hard to filter it. Maybe adding a feature for using single letter at the beggining of the word works most of the part but what about third ones?

Just wants to tell about it, I hope its help.

Screenshots

I deleted from the #bot-chat channel, don't worry.

Thanks for raising the issue. I think this is a difficult one to solve as it would create a lot of false positives, for examples words that end in ...king

@eddiejaoude I agree with you, maybe adding a feature for no duplication at the beggining of the word solve some problems. I don't think there is no such a word like that in English right?

I guess we can just use a NLTK spell checker to the text before feeding it to the bot . This way the word "kking" will be reduced to "king" and now the bot can recognize accordingly.

that's a great idea and should resolve some of the cases :+1:
