I wouldn't have thought so tbh with myself because my posts are rushed and my sentences can be odd sometimes :/

Sure! If you want your son/daughter to learn a range of swear words

I like the idea of a per user choice of whether to turn off the filter or not. It's weird I do cuss a bit at home but try to not cuss in public or in the workplace. Instead in public/work I use words like "Frack" (yes I'm a Battlestar nut) or Zut Alor (cussing in french doesn't really sound like cussing at all :P )

work in radio for a bit -- that'll either quickly cure you of the habit, or quickly cure you of working in radio.

A poll for the group. Personally, I'm of the opinion that we're (mostly) all adults here and a little profanity here and there isn't something we need to (or should) be protected from.
