GTT Dev : Finding the Wrong Words Blog
29th September 2024
Started to build a fairly sturdy "Bad Words" filter, yesterday.

-=-=-

You'd think there'd be a bazillion of these, ready to go, but.. Not easy to find them, if there are.

I've bundled about 3 or 4 different filter lists that I've found online, and a lot of them are doing things like "A$$".
In my engine, I'll not really be having to deal with things like that, but it's never a bad idea to have "words" like that in a ban list.

But.. Some words aren't.
Let's take a colloquial word for cat..
"KITTY".. Use your imagination to find the alternative "bad" word that might match this.
"KITTY" is in there, but "KITTIES" isn't in there.
And you can find that sort of thing a ton in these lists. Quite why, I'm not sure, but there you go.

And then UK alternative spellings.
"ASS" vs "ARSE" are both there, and whilst words like "ASSHAT" (and worse) are in the filtered lists, "ARSEHAT" and their equivalents aren't. So if you ever want to easily defeat 95% of online word filters, spell in UK English!! (Or, English, as it's often referred to, what with English being English..)

This is likely why Apple Intelligence isn't available over here in the UK, unless you switch your device to US English. The AI must keep accidentally swearing at people, because it doesn't have enough of a filter in such a bizarre and foreign language.

Like English.

Because English English is far too confusing.
