Subject of the feature

I recently learned that the phrase "bug report" without a space in the middle can be offensive. Here's a link to the racial slur.

Without the space it essentially reads as <racial-slur>port or <racial-slur>town.

Suggested alternatives would be "snapshot" or any phrasing which makes sure to separate the words: "bug report, bug-report".

Does this seem like something worth adding?

See #7.

Hey folks,

I will start the intenationalisation to Portuguese From Brazil, so I will create a file called pt-br.js

Should I wrap this file in a internationalisation folder? resulting in translations/pt-br.js ? Or just leave in the root of the repository?

Best Regards,
Otacilio Maia.

There are many colors in the rainbow.

Those words are being flagged as offensive. Looking at https://github.com/words/cuss/blob/7f4175b198d6428a4d4140b157825cf75185001b/index.json they are also flagged as being "unlikely".

Might the list be more effective in identifying harmful language if it were dialed down to words that are likely to be offensive?
