Update the bad word detector
Added support - why not
also I propose to add all political words, names, phrases to the bad word list since any mention of the sort ends up being a contentious assertion therefore causing fights between scratchers.

I believe this is a duplacate, but I can't find it.

If the word “fri” was bad, someone could type “friend” and be told the bad word when the detector goes off.
