	The 12dicts Word Lists
		The other list, the 2of12 list, is more inclusive in that it includes words listed in as few as two of the source dictionaries, but less inclusive in that it excludes items of various sorts, including multiword phrases, proper names and abbreviations.
		The words in the 2of12 list are not annotated.
		These words were frequently of the sort added to the 6of12 list as signature words, as well as some inflections that often function as words with meanings of their own, such as comforting and notes.

	Epinions.com - How the Objectionable Words Filter works (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		There are singular words followed by their plurals, but there are also a few choice words that seem to appear in an almost endless list of combinations with other words.
		That’s four lists to compare to instead of one list to compare to, but those four lists are considerably shorter than a single list of words could ever be.
		The Objectionable Words Filter’s filtering technique is quite clever, but it does need to be complemented with a fifth list, a list of words that are not objectionable, even if their match with list 2, list 3 or especially list 4 indicates that they contain something quite horrendous.

		The difference between these original word lists and our Prime Words lists are that the old word lists were created before computers; they were derived by manually tabulating small populations of words (thousands of words).

		However, earlier in the same week, the Lake Superior State University issued its list of words which should be banished from the language.
		Also, it has to be taken more as a measure of words and phrases that generally annoy submitters than as a list of unwanted words of the year 2001.
		Some words in the list have no good alternatives and some who wrote seemed less concerned with cleansing the language of unwanted or useless terms than they were with seizing the opportunity to complain by proxy about the thing the word identifies (faith-based is a good example).

		It's not just a random choice; the way the word is pronounced, the regular forms it sounds like, and the historical development of the word all influence the particular irregular inflection we give it.
		By testing German speakers with nonsense words, he teased out the actual rule that they apply to generate regular forms, and it is not the most common inflection.
		This is likened to the tension between words and rules, from which arises much of the richness of language.
