I tried to add the keyword 'fabric' to a title, and discovered to my amazement that it is automatically revised to 'fbi'. I'm really not sure what one has to do with the other; I'm sure the backstory is fascinating.

Keywords are supposed to be singular, so should a keyword like based-on-real-people even exist? Shouldn't it be merged and redirected to based-on-real-person?
