My point exactly. The US English spelling of this word may be used as a synonym for donkey which is not offensive and is blocked by the filter whereas the English English 4-letter spelling (it seems kind of redundant to say "English" twice but at least it should now be clear what I mean), there is no ambiguity, it is always offensive, yet it is allowed by the filter.
