RE: What is required for something to be considered a proper “word”?

in #what-qa8 years ago

In most instances a word is considered a word if is from Latin decent. I know "bad words" such as F$#@ and A@#, are considered bad words because they do not descent from the Latin language.
I know recently slag words have been added to the dictionary, so the exact rules behind these choices are a mystery.
Great question, thank you for sharing, keep on steemin!
