Have just realised that you are allowed to use the word "***' (the american version) and yet FF.com.au will not allow the aussie version spelt with an 'r' and an 'e' and one less 's'.
Can someone tell me why this is? Paul |

Just a guess but maybe "***" is allowed because it can be used in other words such as "assorted".

an '***' is quadruped of horse genus with long ears. It is also used by Septics to denote stupidity. In a more vulgar sense it is used to refer to one's backside. The Aust/Brit word, 'a*se' scan be used to refer to the backside. In this day and age 'a*rse' is pretty tame; it appears uncensored in the Oxford Dictionary and the Macquarie and is simply noted as a vulgar term. Note that it also means good fortune (ie he a*rsed (fluked) that one into the goal).

Is there a function or script that will remove words that have no vowels in them? Maybe we can call it the anti Nokia script.
