UntitledQ sent me a list with all the words that are twice in the dictionary. I have to replace those words to other words that are not in the dictionary.
So, please, if you have some nice and appropriate words that are not in the dictionary, tell me, and I will add it.
I thought you just had to replace those three words... but the whole list.. wow.
There's more than 1000 words that need to be replaced, and I will do it all by hand. I just hope Blizzard doesn't ban the map again because of a word like "black" (racist word).
I made some changes on the dictionary. Some controversial words were removed, such as high (related to drugs). Also, more than 500 repetitive words were replaced by words that I know the meaning (by hand).
Those were old words from the old dictionary:
oenophlygia: The state of being drunk.
matronolagnia: An attraction to older women.
ximelolagnia: The urge to stare at women who are sitting with crossed legs.
grapholagnia: The urge to stare at obscene pictures.
obsolagnium: The lack of sexual desire that accompanies old age.

Black will likely be viewed at as the color, not the racial slur. "Black" is actually not really a bannable word either, because it depends how it's used.
What you REALLY need to do is get rid of slur words that you won't understand and everyone else won't. Also, the best thing to do is remove all of the extreme words you don't know the meanings of and just add new words to replace them.
This is getting fucking ridiculous guys.
Rule of thumb: if a word can be used in context in an inoffensive manner then it's generally fine. Generally.
Implying that you should remove all these words that could offend people is too far.
Eliminate the obviously offensive words, but if it's situationally offensive words that only have the potential to offend just leave them.
If they were catering to everybody's whim you wouldn't have a map.
See: Man wants hell taken out of hello
The real thing that stumps me here, is how you were surprised that your map was banned with a dictionary like that.
I've just updated the NWW Dictionary. I spent 12 hours straight working on it today. All the 1000 repetitive words were replaced by inoffensive words. I had to look up on the dictionary for the meaning of hundreds of words. Some words were removed, such as pax (related to religion) and vamp (a seductive woman who uses her sex appeal to exploit men).
@Forbiddian: Go
Found a couple more typos while playing:
"awrencium"
should be Lawrencium
There are a few words ending in "...yness" that should be "...iness"
"ammine" should probably be "amine" (I'm a chemist, and yes I know what an ammine is, but organic chemistry is far, far more popular than inorganic coordination chemistry)
Also, there's a long word including "neoro" which should be "neuro"

Thank you everyone,
I removed most of your suggestions (not all eg. ball).
The new file is already attached to this thread.

Example:
swat (easy w.)

I've made some changes on the dictionary. There were 10 repetitive words left. Now it's all perfect.
Words that sound like well-known words or have preferred alternate spellings:
demoniac = demonic
tolbooth = tollbooth
.
Here are some words you can add if you need to fill in gaps:
.
cassoulet cassiterite casiquiare cassiopeia pathlessnesses quasi-judicial vedette quagmire woodenly
