> "I think a sloppy intern might have gotten a little heavy-handed." This isn't very plausible (i.e., a company the scale of Google letting an intern have the run of the autocorrect-avoidance list). The existence of esoteric and obscure words on the list suggests that this list isn't human-generated at all, but probably based on complaints about autocorrects. It also explains why some words on the list but other, equally "offensive" words are not - only words that have close proximity to more commonly used, more innocuous words would appear on such a list. Another "offensive" word that isn't neighbors with a commonly used word would be absent. The list for other languages is almost certainly guaranteed to be shorter as, despite the globalization of the Internet, the dominant language (and thus the one most susceptible to autocorrect-hell) is still English, and Google is still primarily an English-first company.
