* Swear words & Double Entendre
Maybe a good check would be :: Does this sound like a swear word in your language?
A Swedish guy at EuroDjango con said the Finnish chosen domain http://muutu.com http://muutu.com is a very bad swear word in Swedish.
* Checking pronouncability values are correct
Is there a sanity check step?
Can you inspect some results to check that the Mechanical Turks are not just piping in /dev/random to the results?

- nop 17y agoI don't see how that domain sound or looks anything like a swear word in Swedish. The closest thing I can think of is mutta but it's quite a stretch and they aren't pronounced the same at least not in any English accent I can think of. There are however plenty English words that resemble or is profanity in Swedish, we don't really take notice. Like kiss is the word for urine in Swedish, yet people don't raise eyebrows or giggle (or really notice) when they watch a romantic English movie or anything.
