I cut my teeth as a junior dev in the 80's writing soundex filters for the same purpose, which was repurposed to do auto correction of street names after I got it working on swear words... always amuses me to see so much effort put into such things even still today (as I struggle with autocorrect while typing one-handed due to a broken arm...)

It is, I think, based around the need to understand the context to understand if it is a swear word, part of "reasonable" conversation or unwanted trolling.
