 # - A few high-noise terms (e.g., "address", "type") are intentionally excluded.
 # - Corpus review: omit unsafe role/grammar substitutions; contextual vocabulary
 #   entries below generate review candidates instead of unconditional advice.
+# - Inflected forms ("obtained", "submitted") are listed as their own entries,
+#   so the suggestion can match the tense. Added 2026-10-06 after checking each
+#   one against 180 published Massachusetts interviews; forms that are usually
+#   ordinary words or names ("required", "benefits", "deemed" in a form
+#   title, "self-employed") were left out.
