I assume that not all variations are valid for every word.  So if you
are not controlling the process of accepting these variations then you
will get a false positive.

Going backwards, if you are adding a lot of words then the problem is
the upstream dictionary.  We must keep working on the upstream
dictionary to eliminate the problems at source not making correcting the
problem of adding to word lists.

Perhaps we need a subscription button that delivers your word list to
the dictionary maintainer?
