Description

Instead of needing to manually whitelist, we should ignore things like DirectX and OpenGL. For something to be camel case, it should have at least two camelcase words in it, each which have at least one lowercase letter.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current whitelist mechanism in the doc markdown lint and modify the check to skip words that are entirely uppercase or consist only of acronyms (e.g., DirectX, OpenGL) by ensuring that at least two camelCase words with lowercase letters are present for detection.
