After just one day, Oxford Dictionaries halted its search for the least popular words in the English language, citing improper use of its survey.                                                                                     

According to the Guardian, the publisher had invited users from around the world to submit their least favorite word to its #OneWordMap on Thursday to highlight differences between countries as well as individuals of different ages and genders, but by Friday, it had to close the feature due to “severe misuse.”

Oxford Dictionaries didn’t elaborate on how the system had been misused, except to say that the submissions contained “a mixture of swearwords and religiously offensive” vocabulary. To be sure, the publisher had, in advance, “filtered out words marked as vulgar and offensive in our dictionaries,” said Dan Stewart, head of international marketing at Oxford Dictionaries, to the Guardian, “but this wasn’t enough to prevent the misuse which led to the results being unusable.”

Steward added, “Whilst this is disappointing, we strongly believe in the importance of engaging with the wider community to enhance our understanding of the English language, and will continue to investigate ways of doing so.”

Some folks on Twitter are claiming that Oxford Dictionaries suspended its survey due to an outpouring of Islamophobia, the Huffington Post reports.

Oxford Dictionaries received 8,743 total words before closing the feature. “Moist” had the early lead for the UK, United States, and Australia, before “Brexit” charged ahead, with “British” in third place.
