Okay, I would like to add {'ughabugha} "make a point, present an argument" =
to the non-canonical word list. I have said this word.

I'm not a fan of hiding information, even if it's for the assumed best of t=
he user. I don't think it works in the long run.
While I agree with the problems, I don't think pretending those sounds have=
never been said doesn't solve them.
How about having an entry for the "klingon" word that merely reads "NOT CAN=
ON" ? Enough to acknowledge that yes, these sounds have been said, but no, =
they're not klingon.
It'll keep an uninformed user from using it, and others can then use other =
sources (i.e. the internet) to find out what's up with them.
But both can look up the word should they stumble across it, and don't have=
to assume that the program is outdated/incomplete.
Or have the explanation visible once you tap the "NOT CANON" if that's poss=
ible easily.
Christoph
