The bad word detector censoring fae/faer pronouns

My browser / operating system: Windows NT 10.0, Chrome 104.0.0.0, No Flash versions detected

The pet in my virtual pet project uses fae/thing pronouns. While I was writing the insturctions, it told me there was a bad word in what i had wrote. I tried to see what was wrong, and i eventually discovered that it was censoring the word “faer”. Here are the insturctions, for reference:

Click on the stereo to play music
Click on the sushi and drag it to faer mouth to feed things
Click on the tv to let thing play on the switch

This is quite offensive to people who use fae/faer pronouns. Please fix this, thank you!

Please report comment/description filter issues here: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/235220/?page=263#post-6535790

Also, the word “faer” alone isn't blocked by the filter, so it might have been another word combined with that that triggered the filter.

Another edit: I posted the exact thing and it let me do it without any trouble. Was there anything else that might've caused it?
