LOL...Does anyone know which symbols are unappropriate? I had to ask. (Keep it PG 13) :-)

XMLSOAP, how could the feet of Budda be "unacceptable"?

In some country the cross could be a bad thing same for the American flag.

I'm just going to go out on a limb here and say that #4 is making horse dung up.

Now part of the reason I say that, is I did a google and couldn't find anything to corroborate the story.

Hey guys lay off of "Zilla"! so what if he mis-spoke and there are no facts to back his position. He was just merely pretenting to be SodaJerk.

m00zilla's statements could be correct. I haven't found anything that directly backs his claims regarding Word 6.0 in particular, nor have I looked for a copy of Word 6.0 for direct verification. However, Microsoft has made changes in the past similar to what m00zilla has asserted.

WD97: Changes in Word SR-2 Spelling and Thesaurus
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;172678&Product=wrd

The U.S. proofing tools that ship with Microsoft Word 97, Service Release 2, contain the following changes:
The word millenum is now flagged as misspelled. "Millennium" is suggested.
Many common, socially unacceptable thesaurus suggestions have been removed.
The Msth_am.lex and Mssp2_en.lex files were updated to remove spelling and thesaurus suggestions of obscene or politically incorrect words. Obscene words will not be suggested for misspellings that closely resemble them.


This change originally was made in Word 97 SP 1, however the KB Article only references SP 2.

Bryan...isn't this another example of why we should have the user filtering ability that was talked about a few months ago?


I'm not the greatest typist (two fingers only), so typos are common for me...but give me a break, Moo...

If this is an example of the education of our youth, I shudder....
