Reasons words get rejected

• 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
