We're getting a lot of suggestions for proper nouns such as months of the year, city names, etc. -- please keep in mind proper nouns are excluded from the dictionary at this point.
Please also keep in mind Wordmaster is not strictly an American English game. We have players from all over the world, and as such, all forms of English are included in the dictionary -- American, British, Scottish, Australian, and so forth.
