Should phone keyboards censor curse words?

[_Maya_]

It's really ducking stupid if I want to say shut, that this batch of a phone changes it unless I override it. Pain in my assured.

Sure you could disable all together, but I like it because it makes typing faster, unless I want to swear. 😆

So, I get you'd want that feature on you kids phone but shouldn't you be able to switch it off as an adult?

Yes you should.

No, that's ducked.

I honestly have been swearing a lot more than usual. It’s a sign that I am not doing well spiritually. I’ve been really stressed, anxious and angry about some things going on in my life.

I need to be more mindful of this. When timed right colorful language does accentuate the point well. But if you do it all the time people question your maturity, intelligence and it’s a sign of deep insecurity. Cussing all time does not always make you look tough and/or sincere. You can make you look like an immature jackass especially if it’s your first response to things.

[_Maya_]

So do ya got an answer to the question or just lecturing?

[blueonblack22]

Oh I’m not lecturing. Just saying your autocorrect idea isn’t a bad idea. I could use it. Your question is making thing twice about how I’ve been acting lately.

[blueonblack22]

Actually I see you don’t like the ducking autocorrect lol. Well again I’m not lecturing. But thinking.

[_Maya_]

I'm just saying that if I feel the need to use a curse word then my phone should let me without trying to change it. I'm not saying I feel the need to all the time.

[blueonblack22]

I agree that’s annoying. I’ve never seen that happen before on my phone.

[_Maya_]

@worldscolide gave me a solution and all better now.

[KostasKouvalis]

True story, I went off on a massive tirade once on a photo sharing site, because apparently I posted a question in the wrong thread, and the users decided to proclaim themselves the moderators and enforce it with an iron fist. Straight up Forum Nazis! I started cursing them out and some girl told me I'm gonna get myself banned and to replace my swear words with words like "Forget you" and "Pandas", so I started posting...

"Forget you guys! You guys are a bunch of fluffy pandas!"🤣

[DevikaButts95]

You can turn that off. Lmao. So they already let you not censor them.

[DevikaButts95]

(I type Lmao as a habit, that wasn't intended in any sort of mocking way.)

[_Maya_]

You can't turn it off on a standard Samsung keyboard. Lmao

[DevikaButts95]

I have Samsung specifically.

[_Maya_]

Yeah then you should know. Want me to post pictures showing how fucking wrong you are or save the embarrassment?

[DevikaButts95]

Sorry girl I just went and turned my auto replace back on and it has "fucking" in the autocorrect dictionary for me. Lmao. Unless your Samsung is older (or maybe they changed it later) I guess could be the difference but I only have a Samsung Galaxy 10, but you should still be able to make that not a problem, Samsungs have always been customizable.

[_Maya_]

I have a Samsung galaxy fold 5. It's not even a month old.

[DevikaButts95]

You should definitely be able to add it then so it doesn't auto-correct. You can also turn off the autocorrect

[AviatorTom]

A curse word to one person is just a word to another. It would be impossible to fairly enforce it, and lots of ways for people to get around it if it was done... just put a space between each pair of letters. D A M N

[BoopBoopBeep]

There are times...

[worldscolide]

I use Microsoft swift key for android it allows me to toggle that function off. No censorship for me.

[_Maya_]

Might have to download that shot. 😆

[worldscolide]

It's worth it. I absolutely love it.

[_Maya_]

I'm on it right now 👍

[worldscolide]

Oh umm be careful about adding misspelled words to it's dictionary, it can badly mess up auto correct lol.

[_Maya_]

Lol thanks for the tip. That would be bad and something I would do 😆

[_Maya_]

Samsung keyboard won't even let me say sexual. It wanted to correct that to serial.

[worldscolide]

Wtf that's bad.. Yeah when I used Samsung phones I got sick of its censoring me so I changed to SwiftKey. Thankfully when Microsoft bought it, it didn't mess it up.. Fun fact. If remembers your settings, so if you get a new phone, it will remember your settings.

[_Maya_]

The only issue I have is when I unfold my phone I get this lol. It's huge and not split.

[worldscolide]

Ooh ouch!

[CuriousMufuxka]

I say fuck autocorrect altogether! If I'm not sure I typed a word correctly, and I use a plethora of them.. I open up a browser page and check. With that said, cluck censorship!

[_Maya_]

I'm sending a screenshot of this poll to Samsung. 😆

[PeterLegg91]

No cos adults swear lop, phones and apps etc should give you an option to be able use swear words :) how are you maya?

[_Maya_]

Good just passed at this funding phone not letting my potty mouth swear away. Piece of shut can go duck itself. Batch!

[PeterLegg91]

Phones are annoying as fuck sometimes

[Sparkie460]

It should be the owners choice if they want it on or off

[_Maya_]

So true.

[DarkLegacy]

Lol love the second option, ducked instead of fucked. i think it is a stupid idea

[_Maya_]

At least it keeps me from being offensive lol 😆

[NathanDavis]

I always go through any and every setting on any device I use or own... lol

will even get a script or two, if needed

[llorando]

Shouldn't be outright censored, but their should be an option to enables/disable curse words for people who want it censored. Would be similar to how search engines have a setting for image search to enable/disable safe search.

[TallAnon]

I don't see the point in censoring words, in any case.

[_Maya_]

Right?

[syncheart]

I don't think you should be swearing in text. Text messages are recorded, and probably on some server somewhere. Forever!

[smilelots]

for me to say and you to read no they should not but to each there own dont give a kid a phone ok under 15

[clampfan101]

It should be an option.

[ Autocorrect — ON ]

[ Autosensor — OFF ]

[Alex8736]

In the UK And Australia cigarettes are still called fags. Just Saying

[strateguy632]

it would look like changin the last letter: fuca shia suca at one website "my vacuum does not s**k" unbeleivable.

[exitseven]

No, it violates our first amendment rights

[_Maya_]

You can turn it off so if really doesn't. Problem is then you get no autocorrect at all. @worldscolide gave me a solution to the problem.

[strateguy632]

and if i wanna say, i voted trump autocorrect will change it , so i am not racist?

[Anonymous]

It should be one of the options in the settings.

[abc3643]

MACHINES SHOULD DO WHAT THEY ARE TOLD.

[Jmmmfi4]

As long as it doesn't alter my dick pics

[_Maya_]

😆😆

[Charliefretz329]

Oh I wholeheartedly agree with you on this one!!!

[CubaPirate]

What duck 😳

[_Maya_]

😆😆

[Mansearching]

No. Why?

[scooogy]

Yes of curse
