Wrongfully censored word
Hey there, first of all thank you all whose 7Cups make it happen. I got a problem with a word wrongfully censored, in Turkish "aslinda" (not without i, without ı) means "actually" but when i try to type it site gives me a pop-up error. It is a commonly used word in Turkish and it gives hard times to Turkish speaking users and listeners. I would love to see it sorted.
I mistyped and couldn't edit it.
"aslinda" (not without i, with ı)
so it's a s l ı n d a
@cookiemonster0 Fair enough <3 you can suggest it to the team https://help.7cups.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360002404573
Thank you for your suggestion, just contacted the team. Hopefully they can sort it out.
@cookiemonster0 I hope you get this sorted out soon.
@cookiemonster0 There is also a Censor Updates form, which might be more direct.
However, the ASL problem has been reported many times over many years, and no one ever seems to have been able to get it fixed.
The story I've heard is that long, long ago it was used in online dating to mean "age, sex, location" and so there are some people who find it offensive.

Thank you. I just used the form!

It's a very common problem in other languages as well. The automatic censor apparently does not recognize that you are speaking in another language. I have complained again and again about that. One wonders what that gizmo is good for, especially when it is easily circumvented in English by purposely misspelling the non-no words.
My own laptop sometimes rectifies what I write too! It's quite an effort to express oneself sometimes...
@Fradiga Yes, very common. The one that always comes to my mind is that you can't say "How are you?" in Dutch: "Hoe is het?"

We ought to make a list !! :D
The words for "lateness" or just "late" in French are r-e-t-a-r-d and t-a-r-d. A shower is d-o-u-c-h-e.
Hahahahaha that would be really funny if we made a list. It's a, bummer to see other languages gets their share on that problem too :(
