bonehead23 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) I am not new here, but it has been a few years since I participated in the forum. I try to keep it clean, and I am not a grammar fanatic but I respect the language and try to obey the rules. In one of my posts, I noticed to my shame, that i had made some spelling and punctuation errors, as well as using a word that apparently is not allowed. I should have used "Junk" instead, someone added 'Blah>>Blah>>Blah> but when I tried to edit and correct, that was not allowed either. Just "Report" and "Share". So I will just let it go, live and learn. Hopefully you didn't add a point to my spotless forum record. I apologize if it violated the rules, but I tried to correct it. Cheers from your friendly neighborhood Bonehead. Edited September 8, 2021 by bonehead23 Changed photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nacho Z Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Although I am not 100% sure about this I thought the forum software automatically swapped out any restricted words with the “blah blah blah”. It seems like that has happened to me a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 The word wasn't spelled "c. r. a. p." was it? Yea, that's an odd one to be censored as it usually means garbage or junk but , of cores, it's also fecal matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Yes, the forum has a list of "naughty" words and it scans your post for them before it gets posted, automatically replacing them with BLAH, BLAH, BLAH thing. It's kind of silly, but it is not my forum. I also agree that some of the "naughty" words are IMO not all that "naughty" and should be allowed. that "C" word mentioned is one of them.

blunc Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 so..., if I type in "BLAH, BLAH, BLAH", will it enter a naughty word? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugatti Fan Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 To err is human! What gets me is when organisations and governing bodies get it wrong, make a grovelling apology in the media and use that hackneyed expression ' lessons have been learnt' when the same things they should have dealt with happen again at a later date.

SSNJim Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I wouldn't count on your voice in own home being private, either. With all these smart appliances that are always listening, you can't be sure who or what is on the other end. Recently products my wife and I have only discussed have been showing up as web ads. Coincidence? Maybe. My phone's assistant will occasionally randomly speak up with information related to our current conversation. I'm not particularly paranoid, but I am concerned about privacy and what I say where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things that were never Googled or otherwise looked at online, only discussed with my coworkers, showed up as advertisements on our Facebook pages. One of our coworkers left his phone on his workbench and stepped out of the shop for a minute. We all stood around his workbench and repeated "Viagra" in our "conversation" 🤣🤣🤣. I have no idea if anything became of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classicgas Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 It's a fact our phones listen to us, even in the so called airplane mode, and while turned off. There is no privacy anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugatti Fan Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) George Orwell should have named his book 2024 instead of 1984. What he wrote about is coming to pass.

SfanGoch Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I'm not puritanical when it comes to salting up the conversation. A lot of elementary school (including parochial school students) kids' language can make a longshoreman cringe. Girls were, and still are, very good at it. It was like that when I was a kid in the '60s, it was like that in prior decades and it remains the same today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So very true!LOL It is also generational as we pass it down to our kids and they to theirs!LOL I was taught do as I say, not as I do from my grandparents and felt the sting after repeating some word they used, but used fluently as an adult once out of the house.(military service didn't help nor being a truck driver!LOL) My kids have taught their kids the same and they do not use bad language even though their dads (and some moms) do. I am sure as they reach adulthood they too will grow their 4 letter vocabulary.LOL Just a side note, one son's daughter made him start a swear jar. He said he would add a quarter every time he said a bad word. She insisted he put a dollar in each time, said she wanted to go to college!LOL Edited October 6, 2021 by OldTrucker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 For some really colorful language, just drive a school bus. Actually, please do drive a school bus, there is a nationwide shortage of drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
