Alert to Duncan

[John Corbett]

In another thread, when I typed in the name of Dr. F-i-n-c-k it got auto-corrected to xxxx. This happened twice and the second time, I made sure I had not made a typo so there appears to be glitch.

Is it possible auto-correct though you were trying to be sneaky and spell the ‘F’ word differently? These a.i. checkers can be real prudes.  Try Dr. Chink and see what happens lol

I could be wrong but I don't think this is an AI issue. Something similar happened a few months ago when it wouldn't let met type the word "shot". It must have thought I was dotting the "o". When I alerted Duncan, he corrected the problem. I'm guessing there is a list of naughty words that are verboten and posts are checked against. Maybe Duncan can shed some light as to how this actually works.

I've posted F-i-n-c-k's name in the past with no problems but suddenly, it's getting auto-corrected.
