Overgeneralisation can also be a problem.

Indeed. It's illegal in Scrabble.

Well, it's too long for the Collins Scrabble Checker, which accepts
both overgeneralise and generalisation. *I am not sure what to make of
the length limit. *Does it imply a rule, or is it just the limits of
the checker? *Not rejected anyway; just can't be entered.

If it's more than 15 letters it can't be entered on the board anyway.
Overgeneralisation is 18 letters. Unless you are playing Super Scrabble, I
have checked and it is invalid.

Duh. As a last resort, consider the bleedin obvious.

Meantime, I am sure I already mentioned the pronunciation reported to
me by someone I believe, by a tourist wanting to go to Inga-testony.
(The implausible bit is that someone wanted to go there.)

Bill Hayles, formerly of this parish, recounted the time when he was booking
office clerk at St John's and tried to sell a ticket to Yeovil to someone
who wanted to go to Oval.
