Rudimentary versions of this software do not just replace obscene words, but also alter longer words which contain banned letter combinations, so "assassination" becomes "buttbuttination", "passenger" becomes "pbuttenger", and "passerby" becomes "pbutterby".Naturally, when I read the breastle of this article, I buttumed you'd want to check it out.The problem is fairly widespread; Google searches turn up 3,810 results for “clbuttic”, 5,120 for “consbreastution”, and 1,450 for “Buttociated Press”, a corruption of the US news agency the Associated Press. Perhaps the most celebrated instance of the Clbuttic Mistake comes in an article currently visible on the website jucee.org.
Sincerely,
Conbreastution Day
