So Android users have all been fired because of the damage they have done via SMS?

I've got an Android phone and I've never been able to swipe type swear words. And I'm kinda glad too. Yeah, it's a little annoying when I actually intend to type that word, but it would be way more annoying if it showed up when I didn't. I imagine it's this kind of reasoning that's behind why those words aren't available in auto-complete or swipe to type. Some people in this thread seem to be suggesting it's some kind of moral overreach or impulse to censor that's behind this behavior. I think that's an exaggeration and the real reason is the more simple and practical one that I've described.
