I think your children probably know more than you think.@Lizzie - How do you "prune" a thread ??
My dad wouldn't cuss when my mom was around but when she wasn't cussing was allowed.
I never, not once in my life, heard my dad (or mom) use any curse words at all.
I had auto-edit suppress a word I used in another thread a few hours ago. Rather than ponder what seemed like an overreaction, I gave the machine an instruction it understands, effectively overriding its urge to replace my chosen word:The machine alters the word d*a*m*n to display thus: "dang"That is, until you use the fact that computers operate by blind obedience, to cancel itself out: dam.nNo; it is not done by hacking. It is simply formatting. If you quote this post you will see what I did...I could do that for any naughty word on the list, but am not going to. I promise.
Interesting…
Unfortunately, it's also an attempt at circumventing the measures in place intended to prevent the use of words deemed inappropriate for our membership..... I have been guilty myself.
