This is a
dumpster fire of a list. At best, it's an unmaintainable mess that can be expanded whenever someone finds that someone (or some guide, somewhere) has decided that certain words should be eschewed avoided. After all,
Wikipedia is not a thesaurus book with synonyms similar words (okay, so that one doesn't exist, but the point is that it's not that sort of
WP:INDISCRIMINATE collection of information anyway).
Virtually nothing in here has any context to indicate show when such substitutions are appropriate, and when they're not. And while I realize that AfD is not cleanup, this list isn't fixable. –

Delete It's not what the title says; it's actually a list of supposedly problematic words and, as these are often reasonably plain words like "aircraft" and "beg", it comes across as half-baked or a hoax.

Delete. Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
