AFAICT there are far too many false positives for this to be useful currently.
This is especially true of short words like 'he', which is also a valid language code (Hebrew). Also, whilst 'master' may be a problematic word, there may be little that a project can do if it appears in a URL. Further, it only appears to be possible to ignore a single instance of a word. If the same word appears multiple times, each one has to be ignored. Not really practical if the word appears over 1800 times.
