Fack you, Microsoft.
This just in: the spellchecker in MS-Word will not suggest dirty words.
Type "fack" into your document and it will suggest "flack", "back" etc., but not "fuck." And yet the word "fuck" is in the MS-Word dictionary.* Same goes for other popular dirty words. MS-Word knows they're there! But will it tell you to use them, even when they're the obvious choice? No. Personally, I think it should. How else are children going to learn these words? The old fashioned way? On the playground? I guess they'll have to.
*Actually, it just occurred to me that maybe it was in the dictionary only because I added it. I can't remember.
