Remove bad words from dictionary #45

Closed canadianveggie closed 2 years ago

canadianveggie commented 2 years ago

I wouldn't go as far as what the NYT has gone, but anything on a bad words filter should probably be removed. I noticed that SHIT and CRAP were in our dictionary and should probably be removed.

All the bad-word lists I can find also remove medical terms like PENIS and VAGINA which I don't like https://www.npmjs.com/package/bad-words https://www.npmjs.com/package/badwords-list

Do you want to have them programmatically removed at build or runtime, or just hand excised from the dictionary?

canadianveggie commented 2 years ago

I think a hand exercise is fine, but maybe a test case to enforce that we don't have any left.
