I happened to run "grep lll" on my system wordlist, and noticed some
bogus words.  Running "pcregrep -rn '(.)\1\1' /usr/share/dict/scowl"
shows many similar cases.  Of course some are legit (placenames such
as Kaaawa or Kinrossshire, acronyms or Roman numerals, compounds
like headmistressship or wallless, etc); and now that babies are
being deliberately given names such as "Andeee" or "Minnnie" it's
hard to see where the cut-off point is for filtering those.  But
here's a list of the remaining words I definitely don't believe in:
