For full list of words see:

Not swear words or DEI. Mostly sane substitutions e.g. fixing hyphenations and expanding apostrophes. Only oddity I thought was enforcing favor instead of favour.

Comments suggest banning "just" too.

Well I guess that's a rephrase using an alternative word sensible thing to do.
