Thread: What's going on with replacing certain words?

  1. #1

    Default What's going on with replacing certain words?

    I just noticed that the word "y-o-u-r" was automatically replaced with "y-e-r," and that the gender words "m-a-l-e" and "f-e-m-a-l-e" were replaced with "scallywag" and "wench." What's up with that?
    Is that your final answer?

    Oddly enough, despite the filter, less people have talked like a pirate than ever before.

    Actually, it's an INTERNATIONAL holiday. It says so in the name. International Talk Like a Pirate Day.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
