So the censorship list can be amended, adding words about which there have been specific complaints?

Could you please add the word "arse" to the list. My daughter (with whom I agree) doesn't allow my grandsons to use that word and I don't want them seeing it on the only website where they often read their granddad's words.

I served the colours for nine years and I'm still a prude in front of women and children. I feel a distinct sense of shock when anyone I'm with uses foul language in front of them.

I must add that I'm disappointed the list is only 20 words long. Don't let me have access to it or it'll grow greatly to include many more (including racism and blasphemy under whatever religion - I'm not particularly religious, but it's a subject close to many people's sensitivities and should be held in respect). Edit to add - I was writing this paragraph whilst the previous post was being written at the same time, not AFTER it.

Swearing is a demonstration of very poor command of the language.

"Text talk" or whatever the hell it is, is far more frustrating I reckon and should be banned everywhere!!! All that wuutm8 cobblers drives me up the wall.

The twenty words on the list are:
Censored

,

and

I'm with DennisN and would like the 21st to be arse.
It's a word I don't use in front of the kids or my mum although I have no problem with using it it the company of a group of mates in the pub.

In a similar way the kids don't use the text talk stuff in front of their dad. Very Happy

Now that we have made our point on use of certain words, can we continue the thread?
How many people got their bluetooth remote from Halfords? Are there people who found out they should have received remotes and have been refused?

As I was the one that started this debate by accident, can we please leave it here and go back to what we do best:

Solving faults in Tomtom's to save them having to employ someone to do it.

I was only surprised on how the censor work or rather didn't. I agree with the censor and want it to stay.

Thats all folks, please lock it now.

Since this has been hived off into a separate thread, I don't see any need to close it. Although I think that Forum Rules might be a more appropriate place!

However, it appears that Jeez has still not been added to the bl##dy list Exclamation
