I was describing the way a certain kind of bird would tilt its head when looking at something and mylot censored the word that better described it than tilt does; the word is sometimes used as slang for a part of the male anatomy. Has anyone esle been censored for the use of a perfectly innocent word that when taken out of context may not be so innocent?

I had a word censored before as well using a persons first name to answer a question. Some people's names are censored because it being used as a part of the male body. I guess we have to use some celebrity names by their last name instead of their first name.

That is the problem with computer filters, they can't take context into consideration, at least some can't.

Yes sometimes I will hit two S's when I write "as". Another time I was writing a joke about donkeys and I put the other word for donkey. They did not let me put that work down. On the other work for donkey I put down $$ instead of the double S's.

Unfortunately such a fix would not work for me, so I had to go with a less descriptive synonym.
