Phase 1: Replace "racist" with "Trump" Phase 2: ??? Phase 3: Profit

  Employees often are not particularly motivated by the company's bottom line. It isn't hard to imagine a lower-level developer adding an entry like this to a substitution database because they were particularly frustrated with Trump. And it isn't hard to imagine a change like that flying under the radar, especially if it was done as part of a large number of changes. That seems a much more plausible explanation to me than "phonetic overlap" or intentional direction from Apple's leadership.

    Just so you're aware, you're responding to a reference to a crude animated TV show featuring children that swear. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnomes_(South_Park) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnomes_(South_Park)

      Nope, he was responding to my statement of this being done by an employee or a team without higher management order or approval.
