Treating a compound word as a discrete word in FxCop

Question

Using the word 'MicroTep' in a string fires rule CA1703 because FxCop doesn't recognize 'Tep'. I want FxCop to treat 'MicroTep' as a single word. I couldn't solve this by adding 'MicroTep' to one of the dictionaries and I don't want to add just 'Tep'. How can I achieve this?

AFAIK, there simply isn't any way to do this without adding "tep" to the dictionary. If you're curious for the reasons for this, see http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/vstscode/thread/d63b9cad-1133-403c-bdb4-526263d4b55d.

If adding "tep" to the dictionary isn't acceptable, the only other feasible option would be to suppress the violations individually (assuming that you want to keep the rule enabled).
