I am working on a game where the player can change their business' description and I am worried some might use some inadequate words. How can I check if they input one of the words from a certain list in a TextBox? TL;DR have a list of words, want to check if they are included in string

make a variable with every bad word in it, then code if one of those words is chatted, remove it
