Does your phone censor you?

You use those words in a phone conversation? I wouldn’t have thought that of you, Ronni. I’m a Marine and next to sailors, we’re known for our colorful speech, so I’m not going to tell you I have never said those words, but it’s rare. I’m no goody two-shoes.
 
@Been There you wouldn’t by chance be judging me, would you now? 😇

I cuss like a sailor! Always have! 😂 I’m judicious about the when and the where, but amongst close friends and family, and forums or other social media where it’s not forbidden, I cuss a blue streak when the mood strikes me!

No, of course not. I was just caught off guard. I knew you were in some type of profession and that’s why it surprised me. I played golf with a Colonel, which is one pay grade above me and is also who I reported to. I never ever heard this man say so much as a “damn.” On the day we first played golf, he reminded me of Sam Kinison. He was built like Sam and even looked and sounded like Sam.

From the first swing to the last hole, I don’t think he said one sentence without swearing and using profanity. He said words that I never even heard of before. I had to ask him what did some of the words mean. And when we started talking about women, it was worse. He had no respect for any woman, with the exception of his mother. She was a Saint, according to him.

After the game, we hit the watering hole and he was back to being a really nice, pleasant man. Not a swear or cuss word out of him. I think psychologists have a word for people like him.

I censored my phone! I don't have one...I am a free man. I am not tied to my phone like most people are now...?

I do have a land line phone with a message recorder so people can contact me, at my convivence.

No, I don't swear. Problem solved!

Same here. I could always separate my "job language" from the way I spoke to folks away from the job including my friends and family.

I spent many years working on Interstate highway construction projects as a civil engineer, The language needed to get things done was far removed from polite conversation but for the most part I could separate the two.
 
I don't swear so the problem never arises. I have a good and happy life. Since I cut the cable 23 years ago, I stopped swearing. Don't waste my life watching "junk" TV.
 
I don't think I've used any swear words on my phone--not that I don't swear on occasion, usually out of frustration. So I don't recall being autocorrected on swearing but I do recall lots of autocorrecting on everything else. It autocorrects me to the wrong words I don't want to use, go figure. I don't know why that phone is so d#m@ annoying!
 
My phone seems to allow me to use which ever words I want. It does sometimes auto correct (not all the time) if I misspell something. Something I’m prone to when typing fast.

One example being when sending text’s to a Caseworker for the Prosecution Hub of the local area police. I was a witness to an incident that involved knives; wheel brace (wrench), and golf clubs as weapons. We had sent 16 text messages to each other over several days (the Caseworker), and during that text conversation things started to get weird. She then sent me a text message asking me about “thongs”. I replied by texting, “What do you mean?" She then pointed out that I had typed “thongs” in one of my previous texts. (auto correct?). As I looked back though out text’s, it looked as though at times I was talking to her about women’s underwear! To someone representing the police. She seemed to have seen the funny side of it, thankfully.
