Errors in the list #2

Closed d-mal closed 4 years ago

d-mal commented 4 years ago

While looking through the words with unusual characters, I found a few that might be errors.

Marineattachésés It looks like Marineattaché and -s combined
Zoïlus (and derivations) https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoilos_von_Amphipolis It's a person's proper name, but I doubt it's still used in a figurative way. If it were still common usage, I'd also include Sisiphos and Xanthippe.

Hannovermesse is a proper name and maybe a trademark. Probably the same as with Viennale Viennalen Berlinale Berlinalen

Marineattachésés: typo, now fixed. Zoïlus: looks like a proper noun, moved from words to blacklist. Berlinale(n): regular noun according to the Duden. Viennale(n), Hannovermesse: not listed in the Duden, but if Berlinale is a regular noun, I see no reason why these shouldn't be. Trademark doesn't mean that you are not allowed to use the word, but only that you are not allowed to use it as a name for another product in the same product category.
