The word f**k and the expression "f**k up" are in the dictionary and
thesaurus. Is it possible to remove these? I have tried, but I have
been unsuccessful. I would like to use these at my school, but with
these words in the dictionary, I don't think that will be possible.
Interesting.
My sons school has a policy against profanity in school. However, no one
has
ever come up with the idea of censoring the Word dictionaries. Children
pick
up these words weather you like or not, so it's fairly pointless in
trying
to censor dictionaries. And if they still use them in texts, they might
as
well spell them correctly.
Personally I'd be very reluctant to start practicing censorship - you
never
know where it ends.

Craig asked a very simple function/operation related question but see
how it ferreted out those whose moral judgement is evidently better than
the rest.
Intriguing!
Yes, I am strongly against censoring. With a few exceptions where it
involves criminal activity (such as child pornography).
Intriguing? Trying to censor (or you perhaps prefer another term?) words
that children will learn anyway is, IMHO, simply pretty stupid.
The possibility of adding and removing words to a word list should
nevertheless be in there.

I think the issue boils down to choice.
But what I find most intriguing is that those who take the supposed
moral high-ground of liberalism are deniers of choice to those who
cannot agree with their liberal interpretation. Censorship is something
every person exercises in their daily lives, and rightly so.
The use of Openoffice requires no moral decision-making per se but the
use of words does require choice.
All I seek in this is freedom not coercion.
