Reconsider usage of /Fw in wordlist.txtΒ #14

Description

@anthonyvdotbe

Some/most/all(?) of the words in wordlist.txt that are marked as forbidden, are simply misspellings of other words.

This seems redundant: if they would not be in the wordlist at all, they would also be marked as a misspelling, wouldn't they?

It is also problematic because some spell checkers consider such words as harmful (in the sense of nosuggest.txt and objectionable.txt in opentaal-hunspell).

Some of the forbidden words are correct, e.g. clearinghouse, others are correct in other languages, e.g. technologies and tempt are correct English words. When I write a document that contains a mix of Dutch and English, some spell checkers will forbid such English words because they are forbidden in the Dutch dictionary, even though they are allowed by the English dictionary.
