sure "overlubrication" and "overlubricate" are words, but is "overlubricatio" really a word?

Technically it is a word, but eh.
Sounds like a ratio for overlubrication .-.

Technically it is a word

what does it mean? where have you heard this word? it's not in the Oxford dictionary, it's not in Urban dictionary, it's not in https://en.wiktionary.org , and i've never heard of it before

remove "overlubricatio" / resolve dwylGH-166
e69cd23 
also run scripts/gen.sh , it seemingly hasn't been executed in quite some time:
- the current gen.sh create "words.txt.zip" while seemingly previous versions generated "words.zip" instead
- there were quite some words in words.txt that seemingly wasn't sorted properly (gen.sh sorts them)

that's definitive, OVERLUBRICATIO is not a word, it's a spelling error. Signed Word Ways

Found a better link. In the current link, it refers to the previous article for Further Websterian Errors. I found it https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/62421168.pdf
