Why are some regular words censored?

... for instance cat's name p.ussy, or some species of willows such as p.ussy willow?

You're obvously a cat lover !

Sometimes this can play havoc with Genealogy. Names and places etc.

They are not censored in the language forums.

indeed!
Sneaky :)

Mine was a general comment about other forums. Not specifically this one.

Scunthorpe

just say 'cat' :)

lol that reminds me of that howard stern segment

what about the short version of Richard.... Dick :)

... or for the tree, you should really distinguish between Salix caprea (goat willow / wierzba iwa), Salix viminalis (osier / wierzba wiciowa) or Salix discolor (some American tree or other)...

This subject really is a load of old hooey.

That's a species, not a name. The cat in My English Book was called P.ussy. And yes, one of the characters was a girl, and Pu.ssy was hers.


I once was a member on a forum where they were nuts about anything sex related. So much that the very word sex was forbidden. I assumed the nickname of sextant so they banned me for it :)
