ein commonly abbreviates Employer Identification Number and is often used in payment systems. Not sure if there is a strict policy for these kind of abbreviations in typos. Of course feel free to close.

When to include domain or business specific terms is something I've been struggling with. We provide the means for people to provide their own identifiers and words and there comes a point where its expected (e.g. teh is both a very common typo and a surname that can appear in code). However, its also helpful to work out of the box where possible.

The most common meaning of "ein" is one in German.

Maybe groups for certain use cases like business, networking, and more; would be a good feature based on how many issues there about this kind of stuff.
