Reasons words get rejected

edit
  • The name of a product or company
  • It's a word, per http://dictionary.reference.com/
  • There is more than one word it could spellcheck to
  • Every line takes more CPU, so I don't add misspellings with less than 6 results in Wikipedia...usually
  • It's l33t speak. Many articles purposely include leet-speak, so fixing it is a no-no.
  • It's 4 or fewer letters long
