>"As anyone who went through sixth grade and spent a few minutes giggling in front of a dictionary probably knows, a------ is in there, and so is b----, and c---, and even d---. Merriam-Webster takes a breather at the letter e but picks up steam again with f--- and never looks back."
If even an adult news site in the US censors words like this, this story is no great surprise. It's always amazed me that apparently in the US, kids/teens watching people get slaughtered by the hundred in movies every day seems perfectly fine to all concerned, but OMG no human bodies, or even words describing them, allowed. Well, didn't the US start as Puritan colonies? (Don't think they were too into murder though.) And I guess the Bible's like that - smiting and mass destruction is holy work, but you'll need that fig leaf.
