## Q: Why is a given word not in your list?
51+

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.

If you find a polite word that is missing from the [polite.english.words.txt](https://github.com/lcn2/polite.english.words/blob/master/polite.english.words.txt) file, then **PLEASE** open a [pull request](https://github.com/lcn2/polite.words/pulls) to recommend that the polite word be added.
