Once I entered my town name of "Cumming" on a web page, and it objected with "my, what colorful language."
- paulschreiber 15y agoYears ago, the University of Waterloo licensed technology from Ask Jeeves for "Ask the Warrior." (The Warrior is the name of the school's athletic teams.) This site was targeted at prospective students, who could ask basic questions such as "how many students are in the Math faculty?" However, if you Asked the Warrior what "concordia com veritate" (the university's motto) meant, it told you not to use dirty words.
