## Q: Why is a given word not in your list?

A word may be missing from the [polite.english.words.txt](https://github.com/lcn2/polite.english.words/blob/master/polite.english.words.txt) file simply because nobody has added it so far. In some cases a otherwise perfectly polite word may have been removed because in combination with other words, the word in question would be considered impolite by most people. It is also possible that the word may have been removed by mistake.
