No. You may mean any of several different things. Maybe you mean this:

I meant like the person says two words, and one of them is always faulty, troubled..

'a troubled word' is not a possible combination in English. It sounds like the word is worried about something, which is an impossibly odd idea.

For every two words you say, one of them is [wrong / incorrect / a mistake].

For every two words you say, one of them is eventful.

Language isn't a code, you know!

No 'a'. Just 'causes trouble'.
Volcano1985What about "unusual"?
... one of them is unusual.

That's possible, but I doubt it's as strong a statement as you want to make.
