Google docs spell/grammar check shuts off if the word "anal" appears anywhere in a sentence. For some reason "anal" and the F-bomb are the only two words I can find where it does this.

Even the word fuck can be perfectly acceptable in plenty of contexts. Weird that someone went to the trouble of building in weird kill-switch exceptions in a spell checker.

“This feature remains severely disliked by users, with feedback such as ‘Fuck this moronic new button!’ being an example of the milder responses.”

As an Australian, I’m fucking livid these fucks think they have the right to fuck around with my use of the word fuck.

That is to say… as a native speaker of the lovely little English variant where the word fuck or words derived from it are valid in almost every single linguistic context the English language possesses… I take offence at this petty US cultural imperialism.

Just looking at the sheer flexibility of the word on the wiktionary reveals it’s impressive breadth of use. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/fuck#English

Sometimes I think there's a specific person at Google with some kind of vocabulary-related mental illness. Just try and get Google Voice Typing to type the word "o'clock". You can stand there saying it over and over, and Google won't stop listening indicating it's hearing and interpreting the word, but it just refuses to type it.

what happens if you miss spell a word though?

"my anal ysis shows..."

that doesnt get flagged as a spelling error?

why is it even a 'feature'? someone had to go in add a switch for the word anal to turn spell check off. it isnt like they just dont want to be involved with swear words. this is a feature that makes the app worse?!?

plus anal isnt even a swear word. how do you want me to describe the hole where the shit comes out? this is just wrong on so many levels.
