Not sure "matière fécale" is an anatomical structure...

And in the "diseases wordlist", you have "chute des cheveux" and... "voyeuriste" (https://github.com/theophpo/medical-wordlist/blob/main/fr/di...). So, yeah, I didn't look any further but these word lists make no sense at all.

edit: and "chiasse" is also a disease it would seem (L480).

Curiously, despite having over 3000 entries, the medications list doesn't contain "propranolol", one of the world's most commonly prescribed medications. On the plus side, there is a lot here and it's a good effort, so I should probably submit a PR :) If OP is here, consider submitting it to https://github.com/gmelodie/awesome-wordlists also.

SPARQL queries are not yet compliant, the most important is in the wordlist.en.txt file, the goal is not to classify by word types but by SPARQL queries.

propranolol at line 134169 in en/wordlist.en.txt :-)

Propranolol is becoming a first line treatment for anxiety in many situations now where they want to prevent benzodiazepine misuse, but I also know folks who've been given them for migraines, stage fright, fear of flying, and all sorts. They tend to work reasonably well if your symptoms of anxiety are mainly physical rather than mental (where beta blockers have zero effect at all).

Couldn't "chute des cheveux" be a symptom?

That's really nice but kind of annoying I couldn't import the downloaded raw english word list into office. It gave me an error that it isn't unicode so I had to convert it.

If anyone else is trying the easiest option is open your custom.dic in \users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\UProof\ and copy paste in in something like notepad++ that handles encoding properly.

I also marked lines with '(', ',', and ' ' to really trim this down to something reasonable due to the amount of duplication (104004 lines with an missing drug I added but don't want to shill for). I don't need 100+ variations on cataracts of types of macular degeneration for spell checking purposes.
