I'm one of the developers for Ninjawords. Thanks everyone for sharing in our frustration. I thought this was a bit ridiculous as we were going back and forth with Apple, but I didn't know it would cause such public outrage. I guess Apple is really striking a nerve recently in exercising their totalitarian App Store powers. I hope they're interested in rectifying the developer experience, because it really is a great device to build software for. It's just that months of rejection over an innocuous educational utility tends to crush any excitement, you know?

I bought Ninjawords after reading the description and I just wanted to say that shit is fucking awesome!

Those pussies at Apple don't realize how badly they've screwed this up. Those cocksuckers need pull their motherfucking heads out of their motherfucking asses, unbunch the panties in their snatch, and start treating their users and developers with the respect they deserve.

Fucking shit pisses me off.

Could you clarify a point? According to this [comment](http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=743622), profanities in a dictionary are fine as long as the app is submitted with a 17+ rating. Wouldn't this also be true for Ninjawords?
