Could you use Custom Data Validation?
select the whole sheet then Data Validation|Allow: Custom and in the
Formula: box...
=NOT(COUNTIF(A1,"* *"))

If your words/phrases are in a single column, you could use a formula to clean
up any mistakes:
If the words are in column A, you could insert a new column B and put this in
B1:
=trim(a1)
Then drag down as far as you need.
Then select column B
Edit|copy
Select column A
edit|paste special|values
And delete column B
