# Rejected words

Reject some words we don't want to use in the code base for various reasons.

## Run Locally

The mozlint integration of codespell can be run using mach:

```{eval-rst}
.. parsed-literal::

    $ mach lint --linter rejected-words <file paths>

```

## Configuration

This linter is enabled on the whole code base. Issues existing in the code base
are listed in the exclude list in the {searchfox}`rejected-words.yml
<tools/lint/rejected-words.yml>` file.

New words can be added in the `payload` section.
