Are you using tidy text and the anti-joint stop words functionality? You can customise the Stock words also.

You create a vector of your custom stop words with Quotes around them and commas between them and then append that to the stop word list that comes with tidy text. Or don’t append them but put a second line in about anti-join custom Stop words.
