No offensive words either! We don't want our engineers looking through our big plaintext files to get offended.

- DanBC 14y agoI have various Google products under my account, which is my real name. One time I gave feedback to Google, from a Google feedback form, and gave my real (and had been in use for years) googlemail account name on this Google form. The form rejected it, because my real name has a mild swear in it. That kind of thing is vaguely disappointing. I did suddenly have to change all the answers to my 'secret questions' when I realised that I'd have to read them out loud if I needed to get back into my bank account. Lots of profanity snipped there.

- n3rdy 14y agoOur engineers have thick skin, they can handle it. However, we don't know how sensitive a potential hacker might be, and would feel terrible if we offended someone who wasn't expecting so see such profanity.
