I agree in spirit, but then you end up with aggravating cases where Apple refuses to let me write "fucking" and replaces it with "ducking" instead ;)

  That isn't filtering suggestions, so no, that's not what I was talking about.

    He's talking about text autocomplete, which is a suggestion mechanism. Autocorrect knows full-well that "fucking" is a word, and doesn't put a squiggle under it or anything. But autocomplete—the thing that happens if you write "fuc" and then move the insertion cursor—will skip right past that word in the Autocorrect database give you "duck" as the best-fuzzy-match.

  Where possible I use "sofa king" instead of "fucking".
