I replied to a post a few lines down and tried to use the word "G-o-b-b-l-e-d-y-g-o-o-k". Couldn't do it. The site had a problem with the last four letters...
I guess I'm just too old and grey. Took me quite a while to figger out what might be objectionable about it. :pinch:
Not complaining at all. 100% behind Mr. Harness and his policies. Just thought it was funny as hell that it took me so long to understand! :-S
carry on...

Here is Wiki's definition of that word:
Gobbledygo-ok or gobbledego-ok (sometimes gobbledegoo) is jargon or especially convoluted language that results in it being excessively hard to understand or even incomprehensible. "Officialese" or "bureaucratese" is one form of gobbledygo-ok. There are two distinct and opposite cases. One is that incomprehensible material is actual gibberish. In the other some obscure material is either ineptly presented or is subjectively perceived to be gibberish due to a lack of preparation. The SMOG statistic for gobbledygo-ok for example yields an index in terms of years of required education.
And Wendell wants his site to be useful.....

Had the same problem a few weeks ago. Took me a while to figure out that it was the last four letters causing the problem. Oh, well, if that's the biggest problem I have here, it'll be fine with me.
March 2012 - had a problem with the term c-r-o-s-s-h-a-t-c-h-e-d because the middle 4 letters caused a stink with auto censor.

That was what the cretins behind the lunch counter in elementary school used to call Wednesday's "mystery" lunch. 😉
Have a great week! B-)
Strange people in this country, to delicate to use words that have been around for years without being condemned but the use of offensive profanity is common. The world must look in, shake their heads as they come out with a sick little laugh.

"Strange people in this country."
I hear you, Judson, but I take solace in the fact, as I'm sure you do, that I'm so much better than them.
