Words containing punctuation is false positive #5

For example, a normal sentence like How are you doing? will become positive (i.e., is profanity).

Unfortunately I am unable to find a pattern as some words with punctuation are fine (example: elloeh?)

the only fix I can think of is replacing standard punctuation with spaces before running the check. I'll take a look later.
