We need an "ftfy bot" that puts the censored words back in full. These scribbled and other self-corrected words are so annoying.

But how can we know what the censored words are supposed to be? They're censored after all...

So - I asked about this and my friend said something something algorithms. If there's a cuss word in it - it doesn't spread... But if you censor it, it will spread.

I know nothing about algorithms, but seemed plausible to me.

I agress however, it is pretty stupid.
