As a user I'd like and propose another solution: * maintain a black list of words [per language] (give the user a chance to edit it) * skip words from this list at the beginning * use the remaining words until max is reached or * use more words being skipped if the max is not reached. The problem is where to store this list of words - we have too many RC-variables already. Stephan
