I agree with Ahmad here. I highy suggest that words removed should be
saved elsewhere for later inspection (in .po format). I'll add Munzir 4
removed words to the above noted file and commit the change to start
the ball rolling (as this is a pass #2 task). Please look at the file
and that the comment above each word (to note who rejected the word, etc).
