Explanation:
Termivalinta tietenkin riippuu 1) kohderyhmän iästä ja 2) mitä höpölöpöllä ja huuhaalla tarkkaan ottaen tarkoitetaan (slangia? vääriä sanavalintoja? jargonia?)

Find the words that don't make sense in the text


Explanation:
Depending on the actual task. Are there really "nonsense" words in it, or merely words which make the content factually incorrect?

Another option would be "Find the incorrect words in the text...".
