Sounds like an opportunity for someone to create an extension that replaces these words with somethingm that would be good for kids.

- wanderer_ 5y agoYeah, and sometimes you can lose meaning too. If I were implementing this, I would bleep out things like slurs, and words like 'shit' would be replaced with their (arbitrarily less crude) counterparts - 'crap' in this case. There are existing software and methods to get around this problem of accidental censorship. Someone mentioned maintaining a professional vocabulary, and I am inclined to agree: The more you read people writing with crude language, the more likely you are to accidentally let it slip around your parents, or someone like a small child. Anyway, on the subject of the actual post, comments are you and your future self's mutual friends.
