Bad language filter

I've just posted and thankfully checked my message and seen that I was auto edited for bad language!!
I went cold for a split second wondering what I had put because I don't swear normally, then I realised..

I had used a word ( obviously I can't use it again) which to give you a clue .. it can go before metal and you call yards this were cars are dismantled.

I did not realise that if 'part' of a word could be deemed bad language, the whole word would be removed?

It's a good job I saw the reference 'filtereed for bad language' and altered it myself before everyone on the forum thought I use expletives.

[msnwink] Moral of this tale ... preview your messages!

Unfortunately the bad language filer is not very intellifgent and will happily filter bad words that are contained in perfectly good words e.g. s c r a p m e t a l.

Thank goodness this has happened to someone else. I was at the villa at Christmas and wanted to use the word 's c r a p' and could not believe that it was coming up bad language filtered and wondered if it was just as I was posting on an American computer and the spell checker worked differently. Andrew and I found it very funny as we had never realised that a word that is used everyday is harbouring such a rude word within it!

I wouldn't let me use the abbreviated form of the boy's name Richard but surprisingly enough I got away with "bloody". before anyone asks I wasn't using the 2 together. It was a genuine discussion in the chatroom and I was referring to the character in a book.......there will be several people who can back me up on that one[msnwink][msnembarrased]

Apparently the website from that north-eastern town beginning with "S" and ending with "thorpe" has had problems being blocked.
I wont elaborate[msnembarrased]

Not as funny as our experiment, oh it was naughty and childish, like looking bad words up in the dictionary!!![:I]

I think you knew more naughty words than me CDV[msnembarrased]
I must have led a sheltered life![msnwink]

Liz,
It's working in a mans world makes you swear more....that's my excuse[}:)]. Hey bet you hear some choice language at deliveries though!

Ooh yes Liz, must be some bad language going on at times.[msnsmile2]

Usually directed at the poor man who's feet at which all the blame is laid or the poor unsuspecting child trying it's make it's entrance![msnsad][msnoo]
