Is there a way in the form to enter a couple keywords that exclude the user from filling in that certain keyword that's excluded? Say I ask a question in the form that states: Where did you hear about us? And they type in, "internet". Is there a way to stop that keyword from being entered? Or if not, any future thought on implementing this?

Excluding keywords for field population

So you want to prevent a user from typing in a specific value in a field and display an error telling them they can't use that value if they do?
If so, what you want to do is custom validation. There is an API hook called gform_validation that you can use to write your own custom validation for a field. You can find documentation for this hook here:
http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_validation
There is also a tutorial on how to write custom validation in a tutorial here:
http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_the_Gravity_Forms_%22gform_valiation%22_Hook
We can't take into account all kinds of custom use validation which is why we have a hook that allows developers to write their own custom validation for custom use cases.
